Genetics of primary immunodeficiency diseases
(2009-10-15)
in the development of the disease and the frequency of several extended major histocompatibility complex haplotypes (including HLA B8, DR3; DR1, DQ5; DR7, DQ2) have previously been shown to be increased in Caucasian patients with IgAD. Based on our study, there is a...
Storage and transfusion of platelets : in vitro and in vivo studies in healthy volunteers and in allogeneic hemapoetic progenitor cell transplant recipents
(2009-03-13)
Early studies in the 1960´s showed that platelet (PLT) transfusions
significantly reduced the incidence of fatal hemorrhages. Together with
