Therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) usually begins with a course of induction chemotherapy using anthracyclines and cytarabine to eliminate blast cells. Chemotherapy is a necessary step in preparing a patient for transplantation of donor hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, leukemia stem cells often show their chemoresistance and initiate the AML recurrence. Specific elimination of the leukemic stem cells during the preparation of a patient for HSC transplantation may reduce the probabi
