Comparison of wasting syndrome in [MRL lpr/lpr-->MRL +/+] chimera and graft versus host disease in [B10.D2-->BALB/c] chimera and an attempt to transfer the wasting syndrome in [MRL lpr/lpr-->MRL +/+] to MRL +/+ mice.

Abstract excerpt

We compared the findings in the wasting syndrome seen in [MRL lpr/lpr--> MRL +/+] chimeras with those of chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) in [B10.D2-->BALB/c] chimeras. BALB/c mice were lethally irradiated and administered B10.D2 spleen and bone marrow cells. These mice are identical to MHC and Mls but differ as to genetic background. As a result of chronic GVHD, these [B10.D2-->BALB/c] chimeras showed...
