abstract：:Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) can be successfully treated with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or immunosuppressive therapy. However, the majority of patients with SAA are not eligible for BMT because they lack an HLA-identical sibling. Conventional immunosuppressive therapy also has major limitations; man...
