Use of Fluorescence Microspectral Method for Studying Bone Marrow EGFP+ Cells Transplantation in 5-Fluorouracil-Treated Mice
In this paper the experimental results of bone marrow transplantation from C57BL/6-Tg(ACTB- EGFP)1Osb/J transgenic mice into C57BL/6 mice subjected to 5-fluorouracil treatment are represented. It has been shown that EGFP+ cells engraftment in bone marrow, spleen and thymus of host mice after 5-F u treatment significantly increased. More long-term engraftment was recorded after transplantation between closely related donors and 5-fluorouracil treatment hosts. We have also obtained data on differences in the dynamics of EGFP+ cells engraftment in host investigated organs. To assess the effect of the donor's bone marrow cells on the host immune system, functional activity of the synthetic apparatus (synthetic activity) of cells in bone marrow, spleen, thymus and blood have been investigated with fluorescence microspectral method. The results obtained allow of improving techniques for bone marrow transplantation without host irradiation in order to minimize the adverse effects.
