Alloreactive Memory T Cells Are Responsible for the Persistence of Graft-versus-Host Disease
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is caused by a donor T cell anti-host reaction that evolves over several weeks to months, suggesting a requirement for persistent alloreactive T cells. Using the C3H.SW anti-C57BL/6 (B6) mouse model of human GVHD directed against minor histocompatibility Ags, we found that donor CD8(+) T cells secreting high levels of IFN-gamma in GVHD B6 mice receiving C3H.SW naive CD8(+) T cells...
