Abstract:
Objective:To obtain alloantigen-specific hyporesponsivness via depletion of alloreactive cells from haematopoietic stem cell grafts.Methods:BALB/c mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells genetically engineered to express FasL were cultured with C57BL/6 mouse spleen lymphocytes, and MLR was performed to evaluate the alloantigen-specific hyporesponsivness.Results:FasL-transfected DC induced T cell apoptosis and inhibited alloantigen-specific hyporesponsiveness in vitro.Conclusion:DC transfected with FasL gene may prevent graft-versus-host disease by selective removal of alloreactive cells from haematopoietic stem cell grafts
