Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of immature dendritic cells (imDC) transfusion in combination with bone marrow transplantation (BMT) on rat kidney allograft survival and its possible mechanism. Methods Renal allograft from DA rat was transplanted to Lewis rat. Forty recipient rats were randomized into 5 groups: (1) Negative control group; (2) imDC group: Lewis rats accepted imDC transfusion in the amount of 2? 107 only; (3) BMT group: Lewis rats accepted bone marrow transplantation in the amount of 2?108 only; (4) imDC + BMT group: Lewis rats accepted both imDC and BMC; (5)Third party donor group: Lewis rats accepted renal allograft from Wistar rats. One-way MLR was performed to assay splenic cell proliferation to allogeneic T cells. Exogenous IL-2 was added at the outset of another group as the former one-way MLR. Normal Lewis rat accepted splenic cells from tolerant rat in the amount of 1?108. DTH was assayed in the trans-tolerance model. Cells from spleen and thymus were harvested from recipient rats for detecting chimerism by flow cytometry. Results The median survival time (MST) of the renal allografts was (7. 12 ? 1. 25) days in negative control group, (24. 36 ? 3. 20)days in imDCs group and (7. 87 ? 2. 10)days in BMT group, respectively. In combined group, the MST was prolonged to (80. 75 ? 16. 88)days, which had significant difference as compared with the former three groups (P
