Abstract

Patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia with unfavorable and intermediate cytogenetics are frequently heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70)-membrane-positive. In contrast, no Hsp70 was detected on bone marrow of healthy donors or on CD34-enriched cells. The leukemia-selective Hsp70-membrane expression provides a recognition structure for Hsp70-peptide stimulated, patient-derived natural killer cells.
