Abstract:In utero hematopoietic cellular transplantation (IUHCT) has the potential to treat congenital benign cellular disease without chemotherapy or radiation. Prenatal tolerance is essential in this regard. Previous studies involving prenatally created chimeras have shown that immunologically tolerant NK cells (friendly, fNK) from engrafter mice suppress allo Tc1 responses, while intolerant NK cells (hostile, hNK) from rejecter mice enhance allo Tc1 responses. Given that Th17 cells are also involved in allograft rej… 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.
