The facilitation of enduring engraftment of allogeneic bone marrow and avoidance of secondary disease in mice
1980
Abstract A method for transplantation of allogeneic bone marrow has been developed and tested in mice. It consists of a treatment preceding supralethal, total-body irradiation (preconditioning) in which a combination of three drugs acting on neuroendocrine regulation are administered, followed by inoculation of a large number of allogeneic bone marrow cells. A second inoculation of allogeneic marrow from the same immunogenetically different donor is given after irradiation. This system provides a high level of protection to mice against radiation damage and facilitates engraftment of the foreign marrow. A large proportion of the engrafted mice become enduring chimeras, manifesting no secondary disease.
