Abstract:
In this paper, a model of three allogeneic mixed bone marrow transplantation of mice (BALB/c, H-2(d); C57BL/6, H-2(b); and CBA/N, H-2(k)) was established and whether or not prolongation of the survival time in recipient mice was observed. Lethally irradiated mice were transplanted with a mixture of a syngeneic plus two allogeneic bone marrow (A + B + C-->A, in a ratio of 1:4:4). At same time, mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) with three allogeneic lymphocytes in vitro and two allogeneic antigens stimulated delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) in vivo were performed. The results showed that the mice receiving mixed bone marrow transplant survived 56.6 +/- 27 days and the longest 103 days, however, only 15 +/- 5 days in the single allogeneic transplantation group. Whether two reacting cells to one stimulating cells or one reacting cells to two stimulating cells, all showed lower activity of MLC than that in one to one control group. In DTH assay, the mice sensitized with two allogeneic antigens showed lower reactivity than that in one antigen stimulated mice. It was concluded that the survival time of recipient mice was significantly prolonged after transplantation with three mixed allogeneic bone marrow.
