Acute myeloid leukemia creates an arginase-dependent immunosuppressive microenvironment.
- Abstract:
-
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults and the second most common frequent leukemia of childhood. Patients may present with lymphopenia or pancytopenia at diagnosis. We investigated the mechanisms by which AML causes pancytopenia and suppresses patients' immune response.
