Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ethanol consumption impairs cell-mediated immunity and enhances humoral immunity. Among cell-mediated immune reactions, little is known of the effect of ethanol on chronic graft rejection. Allograft responses against the male-specific minor histocompatibility antigen, Hya, are widely used to study chronic graft rejection. METHODS: Female C57BL/6 (B6) mice were fed ethanol-containing liquid diets, were...
