Bone transplantation and immune response
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bone is the second most common transplant tissue after blood, with the iliac crest autologous graft being most used. Bone transplantation induces osteogenesis to repair bone defects. Despite being the most efficient, autogenous bone requires an additional incision and its supply may be inadequate. Deepfrozen allogeneic bone can be an alternative, but is at risk of microbiological contamination, transmission of unrecognised germs, delayed incorporation, and cellular and humoral immune reactions. Synthetic graft substitutes combine scaffolding properties with biological elements to stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation and eventually osteogenesis. However, they generally lack osteoinductive or osteogenic properties and have various effects on bone healing. We present an overview of bone grafts and graft substitutes in clinical use, and the immune responses to allogeneic bone.

Effect of serum starvation stress on the mouse spleen mononuclear cells mixed culture: Introducing a new immunomodulatory method
Introduction: Bone marrow and immune cell transplants are a common method of treating some blood diseases around the world. However, due to the malfunction of the immune system, its use is not always effective. In this study, we evaluated the potential of culture stress in serum-free medium in regulating the immune system. Materials and Methods: Spleen immune cells were isolated from Balb/C and...
متن کاملAn In Vitro Assay to Evaluate the Immunomodulatory Effects of Unrestricted Somatic Stem Cells
Background: Unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSC) are cord blood stem cells that have been considered as candidates for the regulation of immune responses. Therefore, potential exists for their use in the suppression of immune response after transplantation surgery. Objective: The aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of USSC on mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) as a model for graft rej...

متن کاملThe Applications of Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells to Induce Tolerance and Chimerism in Organ Transplantation
Progress in understanding the cellular and molecular biology of the immune system, in the second half of the 20(th) century brings the transplantation of replacement organs and tissues in clinical reality to cure disease. Immunosuppressive agents that are part of nearly every transplantation procedure, are toxic to some extent and their chronic use predisposes the patient to the development of ...
متن کاملBone Marrow Transplantation Concurrently Reconstitutes Donor Liver and Immune System across Host Species Barrier in Mice
Liver immunopathologic mechanisms during hepatotropic infection, malignant transformation, and autoimmunity are still unclear. Establishing a chimeric mouse with a reconstituted liver and immune system derived from a single donor across species is critical to study regional donor immune responses in recipient liver. Using a strain of mice deficient in tyrosine catabolic enzyme fumarylacetoaceta...
