background: anti-hla-antibodies are known to affect the allograft survival in transplant recipient patients. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between anti-hla antibodies and kidney allograft outcomes, particularly in recipients with concur-rent donor bone marrow cell infusion (dbmi). methods: between june 2006 and may 2007, forty living unrelated donor kidney tra...

Lymphocyte subsets defined by monoclonal antibodies were investigated in bone marrow and peripheral blood of 17 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA); 13 patients with osteoarthritis or aseptic necrosis served as controls. Patients with RA were found to have a raised OKT 4/8 ratio both in bone marrow and peripheral blood in comparison with the controls. Furthermore, bone marrow of RA showed a...

BACKGROUND Microglia of the central nervous system act as sentinels and rapidly react to infection or inflammation. The pathophysiological role of bone marrow-derived microglia is of particular interest because they affect neurodegenerative disorders and neuropathic pain. The hypothesis of the current study is that chronic psychological stress (chronic PS) induces the infiltration of bone marro...

Conditioned medium from cultures of HL-60 myeloid leukemia cells grown on extracellular bone marrow matrix induces macrophage-like differentiation of fresh HL-60 cells. The active medium component is sensitive to protease treatment, indicating that it is a protein, but it is heat stable. Conditioned medium from HL-60 cells grown on protease-treated bone marrow matrix still contains the active c...
