A significant number of nonmalignant, progressive childhood disorders respond to bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Toxic myeloablative pretreatment regimens, graft failure, and graft-vs-host disease complicate the utility of BMT for neonatal treatment. We recently demonstrated high-dose BMT in neonatal animals enables chimeric engraftment without toxic myeloablation. Reagents that block T cell costimulation (anti-CD40L mAb and/or CTLA-4Ig) establish tolerant allogeneic engraftment in adult recipients. Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) re-establishes failing grafts and treats malignant relapse via a graft-vs-leukemia response. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that combining these approaches would allow tolerant allogeneic engraftment devoid of myeloablation in neonatal normal and mutant mice with lysosomal storage disease. Tolerant chimeric allogeneic engraftment was achieved before DLI only in the presence of both anti-CD40L mAb and CTLA-4Ig. DLI amplified allografts to full donor engraftment long-term. DLI-treated mice either maintained long-term tolerance or developed late-onset chronic graft-vs-host disease. This combinatorial approach provides a nontoxic method to establish tolerant allogeneic engraftment for treatment of progressive childhood diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007108 Immune Tolerance The specific failure of a normally responsive individual to make an immune response to a known antigen. It results from previous contact with the antigen by an immunologically immature individual (fetus or neonate) or by an adult exposed to extreme high-dose or low-dose antigen, or by exposure to radiation, antimetabolites, antilymphocytic serum, etc. Immunosuppression (Physiology),Immunosuppressions (Physiology),Tolerance, Immune
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
