Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is potentially correctable by bone marrow transplantation if a patient has a suitable histocompatible donor. In the absence of an HLA-matched donor, lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which is mediated by alloreactive donor T cells, may occur. In an attempt to prevent GVHD in one SCID patient lacking a matched donor, we treated maternal haplomismatched bone marrow with a unique nonmitogenic T-cell-specific monoclonal antibody (anti-T12) and complement to remove mature T cells. Despite the removal of greater than 99% mature T cells, the child developed significant life-threatening GVHD, which was terminated by a 5-day course of intravenous anti-T12. Subsequently, immune reconstitution occurred by 6 wk: the mature circulating T cells proliferated in response to soluble and allo-antigens in vitro and provided help for B-cell immunoglobulin synthesis. The patient was removed from a protective environment and discharged without evidence of further infection. Both HLA and chromosomal analyses showed that the circulating cells in the patient were of maternal origin. More importantly, the maternal T cells were no longer reactive with recipient cells. Mixing experiments indicated that the state of tolerance that resulted in this chimera was not due to active suppression. We conclude that HLA-mismatched transplantation for SCID can be undertaken if mature alloreactive donor T lymphocytes are depleted before and after bone marrow grafting.

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.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
