Total lymphoid irradiation as an immunosuppressive regimen in monkeys and dogs

  • 1. Gezondheidsorganisatie TNO, Rijswijk (Netherlands). Radiobiologisch Inst. TNO

Description

The authors have considered that total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) combined with bone marrow transplantation (BMT) might be an effective procedure for inducing organ graft tolerance. It is claimed that graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is completely prevented in mice after TLI + BMT. They have attempted to verify these rodent observations in a preclinical animal model using an irradiation method and dosimetry previously described. Ten dogs (Beagles) and ten rhesus monkeys were included in the protocols and four treatment protocols were evaluated. (Auth.)
