Liver cells and/or spleen cells injection induce islets transplantation resistance / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the effect of liver cells and/or spleen cells injection induce islets transplantation resistance.Methods:New born male pigs and BALB/C mice were selected as donors and recipients respectively.The islets transplantation were performed in recipients just after tail vein injection with donor liver cells and/or spleen cells for 3 times.NK cells activity,antibodies forming function in vitro of B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes subsets measurement were used as immunological markers of transplantation resistance besides observation of the variation of blood glucose and xenograft living time(days).Results:The pre injection of donor liver cells,spleen cells or their mixture through mice tail vein was effective in preventing donor islets transplantation from rejection,which was demonstrated by the above immunological markers.And each kind of the transplantation could decrease the blood glucose of recipients and prolong the function possessed days of xenografts,especially for the more effective of mixture of donor liver cells and spleen cells as compared with the donor islets transplantation alone.Conclusion:Tail vein injection with donor liver cells and/or spleen cells could induce successfully islets transplantation resistance in mice.
