Abstract

Rabbits were subjected to 800 r total body irradiation to render them immunoincopetent with respect to the humoral immune response. These rabbits were, however, only slightly less capable of rejecting skin allografts than nonirradiated rabbits. Furthermore, the administration of normal or specifically "primed" bone marrow cells (bone marrow obtained from a rabbit injected one to two days previously with the spleen cells obtained from the prospective skin donor) did not enhance or inhibit the graft rejection reaction. It is concluded that the cells mediating the humoral immune response are different from those mediating the cellular immune response.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
