The effect of blood transfusion on susceptibility to bacterial infection in genetically defined mouse models

The Journal of Trauma
T Eaves-Pyles, J W Alexander

Abstract

Blood transfusions suppress immune function and increase susceptibility to infection, but the effects are not consistent. Genetically defined mouse strains with the same or different haplotypes were used as blood transfusion recipients and donors. Transfused animals were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and followed for survival or were injected intravenously with Candida albicans to follow clearance of the Candida from the kidneys. BALB/c (H-2d) mice transfused with C3H/HeJ (H-2k) or DBA/2 (H-2d) blood followed by CLP showed significantly lower survival (7 and 10%) than mice transfused with syngeneic blood (61%) or saline controls (56%). Lower survival was also observed in C3H/HeJ (H-2k) mice transfused with BALB/c (H-2d) blood and subjected to CLP (25%) compared with syngeneic transfusion (80%) or saline controls (70%). C57BL/6J (H-2b) mice showed minimal increases in mortality after CLP after transfusion with blood from C3H/HeJ (H-2k) (60% survival), DBA/2 (H-2d) (70% survival), or BALB/c (H-2d) mice (90% survival). When C. albicans was infused intravenously into transfused mice, a similar pattern of altered resistance to infection was found. The ability of blood transfusions to increase susceptibility to bacte...Continue Reading
