Background. The major salivary glands are target organs affected by acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD), resulting in severe xerostomia. Methods. We evaluated the function of the major salivary glands in an animal model of aGVHD (B10.SโSJL/J). For the induction of aGVHD, SJL/J mice were subleth

Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a serious complication of liver transplantation (LTx); it occurs in 1% to 2% of liver allograft recipients. The condition has a poor prognosis and poses major diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. A rat model of aGVHD after LTx has been developed, and a re
The pathogenetic role of interferon-(IFN-) in acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was examined in a murine model. IFN-gene expression was evaluated by northern blotting and mRNA in situ hybridization. The temporal and tissue specific patterns of IFN-gene expression were related to the patterns of
M.E.D.F., K.M.S.) The development of spontaneously acquired Factor VIII inhibitors is rare and may lead to serious hemorrhagic sequeiae. We report here the case of a patient who acquired a Factor Vlll inhibitor two years after an allogeneic bone marrow transplant for CML. This occurred in associati
