Abstract

Differentiated cells derived from pluripotent human embryonic stem (hES) cells offer the opportunity for new transplantation therapies. However, hES cells and their differentiated progeny express highly polymorphic MHC molecules that serve as major graft rejection antigens to the immune system of allogeneic hosts. To achieve sustained engraftment of donor cells, strategies must be developed to overcome graft rejection without broadly suppressing host immunity. One approach entails induction of donor-specific immune tolerance by establishing chimeric engraftment in hosts with haemopoietic cells derived from an existing hES cell line. We aimed to develop methods to efficiently differentiate hES cells to haemopoietic cells, including immune-modulating leucocytes, a prerequisite of the tolerance induction strategies applying to hES cell-mediated transplantation. We developed a method to generate a broad range of haemopoietic cells from hES-generated embryonic bodies in the absence of murine stromal feeder cells. Embryonic bodies were further cultured in the presence of haemopoietic cytokines. In addition to flow cytometric analyses of haemopoietic cell markers, we analysed the hES cell-derived haemopoietic cells by colony-forming a...Continue Reading
