50 YEARS NIAID HOMEPAGE INFECTIOUS DISEASES IMMUNOLOGIC DISEASES AIDS ... NIH HOMEPAGE The Immune System's Response to Transplants W hen tissue or organs from one person are transplanted into another, the recipient's immune system tries to get rid of this nonself tissue, a process called rejection. Conversely, the transplanted immune cells can attack the tissues of the recipient, a potentially life-threatening reaction called graft-vs-host disease. In 1980 three NIAID-supported scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for a discovery that revolutionized organ transplants. Tissue typing The researchers discovered a genetically determined group of cell and tissue "markers" called HLA antigens.
Basic scientific research increases our understanding of the immune system's response to transplants. These, they found, were different in each person producing a biochemical profile as unique as a fingerprint. Today this work is the basis for typing tissues to determine compatibility for organ and tissue transplants. The more alike are the donor's and recipient's HLA markers, the better the chance that the recipient's immune system will not reject the foreign tissue. NIAID-sponsored scientists also:
  • developed a tissue-typing technique that made possible the first bone marrow transplant between people other than identical twins.

Graft vs Host Disease
Immunoglobulin Mechanism in GVHD Elucidated LONDON (Reuters Health) 10-23-01 Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) decreases the severity of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by inducing apoptosis of donor T cells, French researchers conclude after completing a series of animal experiments.
Dr. Blanche Bellon, and colleagues at INSERM in Paris, induced acute GVHD in rats, which were then given IVIg, F(ab')2 fragments, or no treatment. Seventy-two percent of the rats that did not receive IVIg or F(ab')2 fragments were dead within 20 days, they report in the September issue of the European Journal of Immunology. In contrast, only 39% of the IVIg-treated and 20% of the F(ab')-treated rats had died or had clinical symptoms of GVHD.
In further experiments, acute GVHD was induced by transferring cells from male rats to female rats. The investigators found that IVIg induced apoptosis of the allogeneic donor CD4+CD134+ Th1 cytokine-producing T cells and dramatically reduced 0X40 antigen on CD4+ cells, thereby preventing GVHD in the treated rats, according to the report.
"Our present observations provide a specific mechanism for immunomodulation of GVHD by IVIg and emphasize the role of normal immunoglobulins in alloantigen immune responsiveness that develops in both deleterious graft-versus-donor and beneficial graft-versus- leukemia reactions," Dr. Bellon and colleagues conclude.

Research Description:
Our laboratory has been interested in graft-vs-host disease (GVHD), a disease which often appears after bone marrow transplantation. We are investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for GVHD induced pathological lesions and immune suppression. Experimentally induced GVHD is used to study immune regulation and it is also being used as a model to study various autoimmune diseases such as lupus and inflammatory bowel disease.

18 February 2002 WORLD'S FIRST SUCCESSFUL POOLED UNRELATED CORD BLOOD TRANSPLANT WITH NON-MYELOABLATIVE APPROACH Singapore General Hospital's Department of Haematology's medical team lead by A/Prof Patrick Tan has successfully performed unrelated cord blood transplant for two adult patients using non-myeloablative approach and without high dose chemotherapy. The successful transplant for a 43-year-old man, Mr. Huang, suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia, which pooled two unrelated cord blood samples using non-myeloablative approach, is the first of its kind in the world. The cord blood samples were from local cord blood registry and from an American cord blood registry. He underwent the transplant on 12 December 2001. The other patient, Mr Slamet Sampoerno is a 40-year-old Indonesian man who had multiple myeloma. This is also the first known case of unrelated cord blood transplant using non-myeloablative approach performed for multiple myeloma. The transplant was performed on 28 November 2001.

What is Graft v. Host Disease (GVHD)?

What is Cord Blood? Cord blood (sometimes called placental blood or umbilical cord blood) is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta following birth. Like bone marrow, cord blood has been found to be a rich source of stem cells. The Harvard Health Letter (published in March 1997) named cord blood one of the top 10 medical advances of 1996. Return to Index What are stem cells? Stem cells are the building blocks of your blood and immune system and reside primarily in your bone marrow. There are three known sources of stem cells: Bone Marrow, Peripheral Blood (the blood that circulates throughout your body), and Umbilical Cord Blood. Stem Cells are the "mother cells" that lead to the production of all the various types of cells in the blood. Stem cells reproduce into: Red Blood Cells - which carry oxygen throughout the body White Blood Cells - which fight infection Platelets - which aid in clotting Return to Index How are stem cells used in medicine?
