Abstract excerpt
CD45 congenic mice have been used to study stem cell engraftment in the absence of alloreactivity. Recently, impaired engraftment was reported in this model and attributed to weak immune reactivity. We have confirmed that there is indeed low-level reactivity mediated by CD8(+) cells and alpha beta-TCR(+) T cells. B6 (CD45.2) recipients were conditioned with total body irradiation (TBI) and transplanted with...
