Abstract

Extensively purified preparations of isolated rat hepatocytes derived from Wistar rats infected with Haemobartonella muris induced haemolytic anaemia when injected into congenitally jaundiced Gunn rats. In the absence of overt parasitaemia and marked falls in haematocrit, elevation of total plasma bilirubin levels was a valuable indicator of red-cell destruction. Evidence is presented that the parasite is removed by the spleen from the surface of infected red cells which then remain in the circulation.

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.
