ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the possibly mechanisms of inducing allogeneic chimerism and prolonging allografts survival in recipients by immature dendritic cells (imDCs) Methods:Bone marrow cells (BMCs) derived from donor (C57BL/6) were used to generate imDCs The splenocytes of recipients were pretreated by inactivated imDCs in vitro, or the recipients (Balb/C) were injected of inactivated imDCs via vein in vivo Then collected the splenocytes mixed with the inactivated splenocytes from donor to detect the responsiveness Mixed lymphocyte reaction was also used to evaluate the reactivity of the chimerism mice to the donor splenocytes At the same time the diversion of Th1/Th2 paradigm was studied by semi quantitative RT PCR Results:The splenocytes conditioned with imDCs pretreatment expressed hypo responsiveness to the donor stimulation, and the immunized mice also proliferated less degree compared with the naive mice The hyporeactivity was evidently seen within 72 hours after stimulation by donor splenocytes There was significant difference between them The chimerism mice showed unresponsiveness to donor antigens, while reactivity to the third party antigens was retained The result of RT PCR suggested, to some extent, there was a diversion of Th1/Th2 paradigm in the establishment of chimerism in the model Conclusion:The putative mechanism of immature dendritic cells inducing the generation of allogeneic chimerism may based on the hypo responsiveness produced by imDCs, and there may also exist some kinds of diversion of Th1/Th2 paradigm
