چکیده

Bone marrow transfusion is a well-established method for induction of mixed hematopoietic chimerism and donor-specific tolerance in animal models. This procedure, however, is inapplicable in clinical transplantation using cadaveric donors due to the interval (1 week to 7 months) between tolerance induction and organ transplantation. For clinical use, it is essential that allografts be placed at the time of bone marrow transfusion. In the present study, we performed skin transplantation within 1 hour after a nonlethal conditioning regimen. Recipient mice were treated with anti-CD3, anti-CD4, low-dose total body irradiation (3 to 6 Gy TBI) and fully mismatched or haploidentical donor bone marrow cells. Stable multilineage chimerism and specific T-cell nonresponsiveness developed. Donor skin grafts were permanently accepted. These results suggest that this single day protocol has clear potential for application in both cadaveric and living-related organ transplantation.

Renal Transplantation in Hepatitis C Positive Patients: A Single Centre Experience

Introduction. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an independent risk factor for renal transplantation (RTx). Immunosuppression minimization can render better quality of life to these patients. Methods. We analyzed 132 HCV-positive RTx patients (group A) transplanted under tolerance induction protocol (TIP) and compared them with 79 controls (group B) transplanted using standard triple drugs. ...

Splenocyte Infusion and Whole-Body Irradiation for Induction of Peripheral Tolerance in Porcine Lung Transplantation: Modifications of the Preconditioning Regime for Improved Clinical Feasibility

BACKGROUND Preoperative low-dose whole-body irradiation (IRR) with 1.5 and 7 Gy thymic IRR of the recipient, combined with a perioperative donor splenocyte infusion lead to reliable donor specific peripheral tolerance in our allogeneic porcine lung transplantation model. To reduce the toxicity of this preconditioning regime, modifications of the IRR protocol and their impact on allograft surviv...

Alloreactive Regulatory T Cells Allow the Generation of Mixed Chimerism and Transplant Tolerance

The induction of donor-specific transplant tolerance is one of the main goals of modern immunology. Establishment of a mixed chimerism state in the transplant recipient has proven to be a suitable strategy for the induction of long-term allograft tolerance; however, current experimental recipient preconditioning protocols have many side effects, and are not feasible for use in future therapies....

In utero hematopoietic cell transplantation: induction of donor specific immune tolerance and postnatal transplants

In utero hematopoietic cell transplantation (IUHCT) is a non-myeloablative non-immunosuppressive transplant approach that allows for donor cell engraftment across immunologic barriers. Successful engraftment is associated with donor-specific tolerance. IUHCT has the potential to treat a large number of congenital hematologic, immunologic, and genetic diseases either by achieving high enough eng...

Abrogation of chronic rejection in a murine model of aortic allotransplantation by prior induction of donor-specific tolerance.

Aortic allotransplantation in mice has been well established as a model of choice to study the evolvement of chronic rejection, the etiopathology of which is believed to be that of immune origin. This has prompted the postulation that prior induction of donor-specific tolerance would attenuate or abrogate the underlying events that culminate in posttransplant arteriosclerosis. To study the effe...
