Haematological malignancies represent a heterogenous group of diseases, encompassing lymphomas, leukaemia, and multiple myeloma. Among these, the involvement of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) has been most consistently reported in lymphoma, while their role in leukaemia and multiple myeloma remains limited. This study investigated the humoral response to the envelope proteins of HERV-K and HERV-H in the peripheral blood...

Background Pomalidomide, a third-generation oral immunomodulatory drug, exhibits efficacy in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma or those refractory to bortezomib and lenalidomide (RRMM). Methods In this clinical context, we employed flow cytometry and CDR3 spectratyping to monitor the dynamics of the T-cell repertoire during Pomalidomide treatment, aiming to investigate its potential to reverse the immunological abnormali...
