Abstract

Immunological status was studied in mice born after induction of the graft-versus-host reaction in mothers. The young mice (under 1 month of age) exhibited lymphopenia, prolonged allogeneic skin graft survival, increased susceptibility to infection with typhoid bacteria, decreased number of plaque-forming cells in the spleen after immunization of mice with sheep red blood cells and Vi-antigen. In 2- to 3-month-old mice the analogous changes in immunity and reduced number of T lymphocytes in the spleen and lymph nodes were seen only in those which developed signs of runt-disease. In old mice immunity to sheep erythrocytes and number of T lymphocytes were reduced; however, responses to Vi-antigen were elevated significantly. Most of old-aged mice had high levels of the serum immunoglobulins and transferrins. In some cases positive antiglobulin tests were revealed.

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.
