Acute transformation of chronic large granular lymphocyte leukemia into an aggressive form associated with preferential organ involvement.

abstract：:To test whether anti-idiotypic immunoregulation of factor VIII(FVIII)-inhibiting antibodies could be feasible in hemophiliacs, we assayed the minimal number and range of immunogenic, functional FVIII epitopes to which a series of murine anti-FVIII monoclonal antibodies (MAb) were directed. Rabbit anti-idiotypic sera t...
