A 30-year-old man consults a physician because of weight loss and fatigue. A complete blood count demonstrates an erythrocyte count of 2.2 million/mm3, a leukocyte count of 105,000/mm , and a platelet count of 100,000/mm . The peripheral smear shows many abnormal white cells containing multiple Auer rods. Remission is achieved with chemotherapy, and the decision is made to treat the patient with total body irradiation followed by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Depletion of which of the following cells in the transplanted marrow tends to decrease the incidence of subsequent graft-versus-host disease?
(A) B cells
(B) Megakaryocytes
(C) Promyelocytes
(D) Pronormoblasts
(E) T cells
