Y. Maeda et al., SOLUBLE INTERCELLULAR-ADHESION MOLECULE-1 LEVELS OF PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYELOID-LEUKEMIA AFTER ALLOGENEIC BONE-MARROW TRANSPLANTATION, Journal of allergy and clinical immunology, 100(6), 1997, pp. 77-78
Concentrations of serum-soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICA
M-1) were measured for 10 patients with or without chronic graft versu
s host disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Levels of
soluble ICAM-1 were higher among patients with chronic graft versus h
ost disease than among those without it, a statistically significant d
ifference. The results indicated that measurement of serum-soluble ICA
M-1 is useful for prediction of chronic graft versus host disease.
