Table 1 Clinical characteristics of AML patients treated with azacitidine according to the diversity of their pretreatment BM T cell repertoire based on the Shannon diversity index.

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