Early chimerism threshold predicts sustained engraftment and NK-cell tolerance in prenatal allogeneic chimeras
17 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
The failure of engraftment in human cases of in utero hematopoietic cell transplantation (IUHCT) in which no immunodeficiency exists suggests the presence of an unrecognized fetal immune barrier. A similar barrier in murine IUHCT appears to be dependent on the chimerism level and is poorly explained by a lack of T-cell tolerance induction. Therefore, we studied the effect of the chimerism level on engraftment and...
