abstract：:Aplastic anaemia (AA) is considered as an immune-mediated bone marrow failure syndrome. The mechanism is involved with a variety of immune molecules including interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukins (ILs). IL-27 is a novel member of the IL-12 family, which mediates T cell response and e...
