Table 2 Clinical characteristics of AML patients according to the richness of their pretreatment bone marrow T cell repertoire after the first course of azacitidine (day 15).

From: Azacitidine-induced reconstitution of the bone marrow T cell repertoire is associated with superior survival in AML patients
