Spleen cell transfusion in the Bio-Breeding/Worcester rat. Prevention of diabetes, major histocompatibility complex restriction, and long-term persistence of transfused cells.

چکیده
We report that transfusions of RT1u Wistar-Furth (WF) spleen cells prevented spontaneous diabetes in the RT1u BB/W rat while RT1b Buffalo rat spleen cells did not. In addition, donor origin WF T lymphocytes were detected in nondiabetic-susceptible BB/W recipients 5 mo after transfusion. Survival of donor-origin lymphocytes may provide the cellular mechanism by which major histocompatibility complex-compatible WF spleen cell transfusions prevent BB rat diabetes.

Spontaneous diabetes mellitus in the Bio-Breeding/Worcester rat. Evidence in vitro for natural killer cell lysis of islet cells.
We sought direct evidence for anti-islet cellular cytotoxicity in diabetic Bio-Breeding/Worcester (BB/W) rats by comparing the effects of splenic lymphoid cells from BB/W diabetic (D), diabetes-prone (DP), and diabetes-resistant (DR) rats on the release of 51Cr from damaged islet cells in vitro. D and DP splenic lymphoid cells were cytotoxic to major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-compatible ...
متن کاملLymphocyte transfusions prevent diabetes in the Bio-Breeding/Worcester rat.
The Bio-Breeding/Worcester (BB/W) rat develops spontaneous autoimmune diabetes similar to human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Transfusions of whole blood from the nondiabetic W-line of BB/W rats prevent the syndrome in diabetes-prone recipients. We report three experiments designed to determine which blood component is protective. In all experiments, diabetes-prone BB/W rats 23 to 35 d o...
متن کاملA major histocompatibility complex class II restriction for BioBreeding/Worcester diabetes-inducing T cells
Inbred diabetes-prone (DP) BioBreeding/Worcester (BB/Wor) (RT1u) rats develop spontaneous autoimmune diabetes, which, like human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, is mediated by autoreactive T lymphocytes. Breeding studies have shown an absolute requirement for at least one copy of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) RT1u haplotype for spontaneous diabetes expression. Concanavalin A-a...
متن کاملLymphoid cells of BB/W diabetic rats are cytotoxic to islet beta cells in vitro.
Assays were developed to detect cell-mediated immune destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells by lymphoid cells isolated from diabetic BioBreeding/Worcester (BB/W) rats. Splenic lymphoid cells from diabetic (D), diabetes-prone (DP), and diabetes-resistant (DR) BB/W rats were incubated for 2 days with monolayer cultures of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-compatible Wistar-Furth (WF) rat...
متن کاملPrevalence of Alloantibodies and Autoantibodies in Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia Patients
Background: The development of anti-red blood cell alloantibodies remains a major problem in transfusion of blood in thalassemia major patients. Also, Autoantibodies can result in clinical hemolysis and difficulty in cross-matching blood. We studied the frequency of red blood cell alloimmunization and autoimmunization among thalassemia patients who received regular transfusions in Ilam province...
