Abstract

To address the question whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could lower responsiveness of allogeneic T lymphocytes against alloantigens, and explore a feasible strategy for prevention of graft versus host disease (GVHD) occurred in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. T cells were co-cultured with (60)Co-irradiated bone marrow MSCs from different individuals. The proliferative activity of T cells and their reactivity to allogeneic cells and ConA were evaluated with (3)H-TdR incorporation assay. T cells could not be activated upon primary or even secondary exposure to allogeneic MSCs (compared the CPM value of 27,529 +/- 969 of T cell alone with that of primary and secondary exposures to allogeneic MSCs were 9,126 +/- 654 and 13,260 +/- 874, respectively). When MSCs were induced to express HLA-DR, they still could not elicit T cell activation. The proliferation rate of allogenous T cells exposed to MSCs was dramatically declined when T cells from the same donor's MSCs were used as stimulator (CPM value decreased from 45,876 +/- 5285 before coculture to 9850 +/- 1618 after coculture). Furthermore, the results remained unchanged even ConA was added into the culture system. Heterogenetic MSCs could suppress T cell ...Continue Reading

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.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
