GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST-DISEASE-ASSOCIATED THYMIC DAMAGE RESULTS IN THE APPEARANCE OF T CELL CLONES WITH ANTI-HOST REACTIVITY1
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We studied whether T-cell clones, which appear in the periphery as a result of the failure of thymic negative selection during graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), have any in vivo anti-host reactivity and can cause GVHD in an adoptive transfer model. METHODS: We performed our studies in a murine model (B10.BR into CBA/J) for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation with major histocompatibility...
