Genetic mismatch affects the immunosuppressive properties of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro and their ability to influence the course of collagen-induced arthritis
19 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The immunological and homing properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide a potentially attractive treatment for arthritis. The objective of this study was to determine effects of genetic disparity on the immunosuppressive potential of MSCs in vitro and in vivo within collagen induced arthritis (CIA). METHODS: The ability of DBA/1, FVB and BALB/c MSC preparations to impact the cytokine...
