Abstract:We have determined the frequency of the alloantigen-reactive cells (ARC) in human ILC and PLT by the limiting dilution analysis. In PLT, the frequency of the ARC to the original sensitizing donor ranged between 1:32 to 1:62, an increase of six to nine-fold after priming in MLC. The MLC primed populations were also enriched (three to five fold) for the ARC responding to the PL-positive allogeneic donors. The incidence of the ARC was 1 6 2 to 1:118 with donors positive for the sensitizing HLA-DRw antigen and 1:7… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
