Designed transfer of specific immune responses with bone marrow transplantation.

Abstract

Bone marrow transplant donors were immunized with tetanus/diphtheria toxoids 6-7 d before bone marrow donation to investigate the role of B cell subpopulations in reconstitution of humoral immunity. Lymphoblastoid B cells spontaneously producing IgG antitetanus and/or antidiphtheria toxoid were detected in the donor marrows at the time of transplantation. Recipients rapidly demonstrated 3-90-fold increases in serum IgG antitetanus and antidiphtheria toxoid levels. Antidiphtheria fragment A antibody in three donor/recipient pairs demonstrated spectrotypic identity indicating transfer of the donors' response. Reimmunization of three recipients 64-154 d after transplant revealed an IgG antibody response associated with reappearance of spontaneous antibody-producing B cells and an antidiphtheria fragment A response characteristics of the donor's immune response. These observations extend the understanding of the role of B cell subpopulations and provide a basis for specific modulation of immunity in the setting of bone marrow transplantation.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
