Primary chronic graft-versus-host reaction (GVHR) was induced in (C57BL/10 x DBA/2)F1 (BDF1) mice via the transfer of parental DBA/2 derived lymphocytes. A significant increase in the absolute number of IgM- and IgG-secreting cells was found in recipient BDF1 mice at 3 weeks post-transfer. The increase included B cells reactive with both self- and non-self-antigens, without being skewed toward the production of autoantibodies. Later in the disease process (approximately 6-8 weeks post-transfer), we detected an increased number of B cells that secreted antibodies reactive with a select subset of autoantigens in about 30% of BDF1 recipients (3 of 9 mice). These findings suggest that not only antigen-specific stimulation, which was detected in a late stage, but also initial polyclonal activation may account for chronic GVHR.
通过转移亲本DBA/2来源的淋巴细胞,在(C57BL/10×DBA/2)F1(BDF1)小鼠中诱导出原发性慢性移植物抗宿主反应(GVHR)。在转移后3周,受体BDF1小鼠中分泌IgM和IgG的细胞绝对数量显著增加。这种增加包括与自身和非自身抗原均反应的B细胞,且未偏向自身抗体的产生。在疾病过程后期(转移后约6 - 8周),我们在约30%的BDF1受体(9只小鼠中的3只)中检测到分泌与特定自身抗原亚群反应抗体的B细胞数量增加。这些发现表明,不仅在晚期检测到的抗原特异性刺激,而且初始的多克隆激活都可能是慢性GVHR的原因。
