Simultaneous protection against allograft rejection and graft-versus-host disease after total lymphoid irradiation: role of natural killer T cells.
Transplantation. 2008; (4): 607-14
The use of combined organ and bone marrow transplantation has been studied extensively in rodent models to induce immune tolerance to organ grafts. However, bone marrow transplants with mature donor T cells can induce graft-versus-host disease even in human leukocyte antigen-matched humans. We determined whether total lymphoid irradiation can simultaneously protect against graft-versus-host disease while facilitating tolerance.
