Studies of the use of L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester in canine allogeneic marrow transplantation.
1993
L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl eater (Leu-Leu-OMe) is a lysosomotropic agent that selectively kills cytotoxic T cells and their precursors, natural killer cells, and monocytes but not helper T cells or other cells of hematopoietic origin. In this study, the effects of treatment of bone marrow and peripheral blood buffy coat with Leu-Leu-OMe on the outcome of allogeneic marrow transplantation were studied in several canine models. Whereas incubation of autologous marrow with Leu-Leu-OMe had no adverse effects on subsequent engraftment, incubation of marrow from dog leukocyte antigen (DLA)-identical littermates resulted in a high rate of graft failure
