Summary of the project  :

We are studying both the expression of ligands to NK receptors on the leukemic stem cell compartment CD34 + CD38- (LSC) and the expression of receptors on NK cells in order to identify new immunotherapeutic targets targeting this LSC-NK synapse. Our objective will be to propose new markers having a prognostic and theranostic role in AML in children, in addition to the molecular and cytogenetic markers already validated.
