New concepts in medicine The role of cell migration and microchimerism in the induction of tolerance after solid organ transplantation Rahul

چکیده
A new hypothesis has been proposed which states that microchimerism is the basis for the clinical tolerance seen in long-term survivors of solid organ transplants. Efforts to enhance microchimerism include simultaneous infusion of bone marrow of donor origin and transplantation of a solid organ. Studies are in progress to verify the phenomenon of microchimerism and its role in clinical tolerance.

Microchimerism and Renal Transplantation: Doubt Still Persists
Background: The Presence of donor leukocytes in recipients of organ allograft has been shown even several years after transplantation. However, it remains unclear whether this donor cell microchimerism plays an effective role in allograft acceptance or is simply a consequence of immunosuppressive conditions in recipients. Objective: To study microchimerism in a group of kidney transplant recipi...

متن کاملInduction of Hematopoietic Microchimerism by Gene-Modified BMT Elicits Antigen-Specific B and T Cell Unresponsiveness toward Gene Therapy Products
BACKGROUND Gene therapy is a promising treatment option for hemophilia and other protein deficiencies. However, immune responses against the transgene product represent an obstacle to safe and effective gene therapy, urging for the implementation of tolerization strategies. Induction of a hematopoietic chimerism via bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a potent means for inducing immunological ...
متن کاملMicrochimerism in bone marrow-derived CD34(+) cells of patients after liver transplantation.
Lymphoid and dendritic cells of donor origin can be detected in the recipient several years after a solid organ transplantation. This phenomenon is termed microchimerism and could play a role in the induction of tolerance. The fate of other hematopoietic cells transferred by liver transplantation, in particular of stem and progenitor cells, is unknown. For this reason, we studied peripheral blo...
