Core Tip

Core Tip: An attempt was made to identify the main differences between multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) samples that are effective and those that are ineffective in preventing the development of acute graft vs host disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The mean fluorescence intensity of HLA-ABC, HLA-DR, CD105, and CD146 was shown to be significantly lower on the surface of samples that were ineffective for prophylaxis. Significant differences were revealed between effective and ineffective MSCs in terms of their responses to interaction with lymphocytes and stimulation by pro-inflammatory cytokines. The patterns observed here indicate a possible mechanism of the immunosuppressive action of these cells in clinical use.
