Stem cell microchimerism and tolerance to non-inherited maternal antigens
1 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Exposure to non-inherited maternal antigens (NIMA) in fetal and neonatal life of an F(1) backcross (BDF(1) female × B6 male) mouse can result in lifelong tolerance to allografts expressing the NIMA (H2(d)). We have recently shown that the NIMA-specific regulatory T cells were directly correlated with level of maternal microchimerism (MMc) in adult mice, indicating a causative link between the two, and that both...
