Description

Suppressor T cells are a subpopulation of T lymphocytes, described in the literature as cells interfering with T or B cell-mediated immune reactions. It is also evident that suppressor T lymphocytes are involved in transplantation tolerance. The authors attempted to demonstrate a suppressing activity of lymphoid cells in the acute Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD). The GvHD animal model used in this study consisted of (CBA/Rij x C57BL/Rij)F1 recipients total body irradiated (TBI) with a dose of 8.8 Gay and grafted with 106 CBA/Rij bone marrow cells and 106 CBA/Rij spleen cells (GvHD graft).
