Exeriments for the production of graft-versus-host reaction in newborn mice by means of human immunocompetent cells.
It was not possible to produce the wasting disease in newborn mice by administering human leukocytes in Hanks' solution, or suspended in m-ATS or h-ATS. The attempt of the authors to produce immunosuppression by the administration of m-ATS started at newborn age-as a result of which the human immunocompetent cells would have produced serious GVH reaction-resulted only in a trend of GVH. The authors used only body weight measuring for detecting the GVH reaction. More sensitive parameters will be employed in their experiments in progress.
