abstract：:Anti-endothelial cell antibody (AECA) is well known to reflect endothelial injury. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a major complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), is also closely associated with endothelial injury. We hypothesized that AECA may be associated with GVHD. To inve...
