Modulating T-cell homeostasis with IL-7: preclinical and clinical studies.

abstract：BACKGROUND:As reported by major clinical series in the literature, about 2% of patients receiving unfractionated heparin (UFH) develop immune-mediated (type II) heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) that may be complicated in 30-75% of cases by a paradoxical thrombotic syndrome (HITTS), either arterial or venous. HITT...
