Elimination of T-lymphocytes from human bone marrow with monoclonal T-antibodies and cytolytic complement. 1982

S Granger, and G Janossy, and G Francis, and H Blacklock, and L W Poulter, and A V Hoffbrand

Complement-mediated cytolysis has been used to remove T-lymphocytes from suspensions of human peripheral blood and bone marrow. Selective T-cell removal was investigated by three monoclonal antibodies. OKT3, MBG6 and OKT11A. All three removed greater than 90% of T-cells but combinations were necessary to kill greater than 99% of T-cells in vitro. The macrophage-granulocyte and erythroid colony forming cells of the bone marrow were spared. The method can be applied on bulk BM samples during clinical BM transplantation and will be useful to establish whether the virtually complete removal of T-lymphocytes totally prevents transplant associated graft-versus-host disease in man.

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.
