چکیده

A primary anti-NIP PFC response can be elicited by a GVH reaction provided certain structural requirements of the NIP-carrier are met. NIP-coated F(1) erythrocytes and NIP-coated parental erythrocytes give rise to substantial anti-NIP PFC responses in F(1) mice after the injection of parental spleens. These conjugates do not of themselves give rise to an anti-NIP PFC response and, in fact, normally give rise to NIP-specific tolerance. In contrast the GVH reaction is not able to enhance the primary anti-NIP PFC response to immunogenic NIP-conjugates.

Synergism between T and non-T cells in the in vivo induction and in vitro expression of graft-vs.-host disease-induced natural suppressor cells

We have been studying the mitogen hyporesponsiveness and immunosuppression induced in chronic murine graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) induced across minor histocompatibility (MiHA) barriers. In this system, donor and recipient mice are major histocompatibility complex- and mls-identical, and are nonreactive in primary mixed leukocyte reactions. Spleen cells from B10.D2 (H-2d, mls b) mice were inje...

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...

Low Dose Psoralen Plus Ultraviolet A (PUVA) Is an Effective and Safe Method for the Treatment of Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease

Background: Chronic graft versus host disease (ch.GVHD) is the most frequent late complication after allogenic stem-cell transplantation. Systemic immunosuppressive agents are usually required to control the disease. Psoralen plus UVA (PUVA) has been used for the treatment of ch.GVHD with variable beneficial effects. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a r...

Chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) remains the most common late complication of allogenic stem cell transplantation and the most frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. To control this condition, immunosuppressive drugs are usually administered at a high dose and for a long time, which may result in several side effects. 5 patients with clinically and histopathologica...
