The Ly phenotype of suppressor T cells arising in mice subjected to a graft-versus-host reaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
T cells with helper and suppressor functions arising during graft-versus-host reaction (B6 vs. BDF1) have been characterized with respect to their Ly surface antigens. Helper cells were found to express the phenotype Ly 1+2- and suppressor cells the phenotype Ly 1+2+. Ly 1-2+ T cells had no suppressive effect in this system. T cells of the host did not contribute to either activity.

Comparison of Functional Competence of Umbilical Cord and Adult Peripheral Blood Dendritic Cells in Allogenic Mixed Leukocyte Reaction
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent stimulators of primary T cell responses and play a key role in immune reactions after stem cell transplantation. Very little is known about the cord blood (CB) dendritic cells and their potential involvement in the low incidence and lower severity of acute graft-versus-host disease after CB transplantation. Objectives: The aim of this stud...
متن کاملThe role of H-2 and Ia antigens in graft-versus-host reactions (GVHR). Presence of host alloantigens on donor cells after GVHR and suppression of GVHR with an anti-Ia antiserum against hose Ia antigens
By using an indirect immunofluorescence technique, the presence of host cell derived H-2K, H-2D, and Ia alloantigens on donor cells recovered from recipient spleens after a graft-versus-host response (GVHR) was demonstrated. Mapping studies indicated that only host K, D, and I-A region gene products could be identified on the donor cells. Host I-E/C- and I-J-subregion products were not absorbed...
متن کاملDonor CD4-enriched cells of Th2 cytokine phenotype regulate graft-versus-host disease without impairing allogeneic engraftment in sublethally irradiated mice.
We have recently shown that donor CD4-enriched cells of Th2 cytokine phenotype, generated by treating mice in vivo with a combination of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-4, prevent lipopolysaccharide-induced, tumor necrosis factor-alpha-mediated lethality during graft-versus-host reaction. To assess the potential regulatory role of such Th2-type cells in lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and g...
متن کاملThird-party CD4+ invariant natural killer T cells protect from murine GVHD lethality.
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is driven by extensive activation and proliferation of alloreactive donor T cells causing significant morbidity and mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a potent immunoregulatory T-cell subset in both humans and mice. Here, we explored the role of adoptively transferred third-party C...
متن کاملThe role of T helper 9(Th9) against Infectious Diseases
Background and aims: Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites .The Th9 subset develops in response to combined signals from TGF-b and IL-4 among a cacophony of other cytokines in an extracellular milieu. T helper 9 (Th9) cells, as a novel CD4 T cell subset, seem to play a complex role in the outcome of specific immune responses. In thi...
