Successful transplantation of solid organs relies on long-term immunosuppression for the prevention of graft rejection. Donor-specific tolerance without the need for continuous immunosuppression can be observed after allogeneic BMT. However, its routine use for tolerance induction has been precluded so far by the high conditioning-related toxicity of standard BMT regimens. Our laboratory has recently established a cyclophosphamide (CTX) plus thymic irradiation (TI)-based nonmyeloablative conditioning protocol for the treatment of hematologic malignancies. We have recently described the successful clinical application of this approach for the induction of donor-specific tolerance in a patient receiving a living-related kidney transplant, which resulted in graft acceptance without long-term immunosuppression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the induction and maintenance of host-versus-graft tolerance following this CTX-plus-TI-based regimen in a mouse model.

Induction of stable long-term mixed hematopoietic chimerism following nonmyeloablative conditioning with T cell-depleting antibodies, cyclophosphamide, and thymic irradiation leads to donor-specific in vitro and in vivo tolerance.
