Abstract excerpt
Donor CD8 cells play a pivotal role in preventing allogeneic marrow graft rejection, possibly by generating cytotoxic effectors needed to eliminate recipient T cells remaining after the pretransplant conditioning regimen or by producing cytokines needed to support the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. In the present study, we assessed the role of donor T-cell cytotoxic effector function as a...
