Аннотация:Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a multistep disease process following allo- geneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). It has been postulated that the induction of acute GVHD requires the presence of Peyer patches (PPs). A new tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–deficient strain has been developed that totally lacks PPs and displays the defects characteristic of TNF ablation but not lympho- toxin-associated defects characterized by lack of both PPs and lymph nodes. To determine the necessity of PPs in acute lethal GVHD induction, we transplanted full major histocompatibility complex (MHC)–mismatched grafts into myeloab- lated TNF knockout recipients. No differ- ences in the survival or GVHD-associated histopathologic lesions were observed between the recipients. We conclude that neither PPs nor host TNF-���� is required for the development of acute lethal GVHD in mice that undergo myeloablative condi- tioning and allogeneic BMT.
