Dichotomy between the induction of suppressor cells and immunologic tolerance by adult thymectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adult thymectomy prevents the development of suppressor T cells without impairing the induction of immunologic tolerance to the same antigenic determinant. This finding demonstrates that the cellular mechanisms underlying immune suppression and immune tolerance are different.

Recirculating, suppressor T cells in transplantation tolerance
An adoptive transfer system was used to examine the capacity of cellular inocula from rats fully tolerant of Ag-B antigens to transfer tolerance to irradiated recipients. Permanent tolerance in these irradiated recipients involved specific suppression of the regenerating immune response. Cells obtained from tissues rich in recirculating lymphocytes were the most effective suppressors. Highly pu...
متن کاملSelf tolerance and localized autoimmunity. Mouse models of autoimmune disease that suggest tissue-specific suppressor T cells are involved in self tolerance
Autoimmune diseases appeared frequently in adults in the prostate and stomach of C3.129 mice after thymectomy on day 3 (Tx-3) without any additional treatment. Lesions of both organs could be completely prevented by a single i.p. injection of spleen cells from syngeneic adult mouse on day 4. For prevention of prostatis, the most effective cell source was normal males (4 X 10(6); normal females ...

Peripheral tolerance may be maintained by a population of regulatory/suppressor T cells that prevent the activation of autoreactive T cells recognizing tissue-specific antigens. We have previously shown that CD4 1 CD25 1 T cells represent a unique population of suppressor T cells that can prevent both the initiation of organ-specific autoimmune disease after day 3 thymectomy and the effector fu...

Introduction:yasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder resulting from a decreased number of active acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. Thymectomy is one of its current treatments. Due to sensitivity of myasthenic patients to non-depolarizing muscle relaxants and also the interaction of this medication with anti-cholinestrase drugs, determining the dosage of non-depolarizing ...
