CCR5 deficiency impairs the ability of Tregs to suppress GVHD morbidity and mortality. (A) Survival of lethally irradiated B6D2 recipients of allogeneic BMT consisting of WT TCD-BM and CD25-depleted (CD25-) T cells from WT or CCR5-/- donors. In some groups, mice received WT TCD-BM and WT CD25- T cells, plus Tregs from WT or CCR5-/- donors. Figure represents data pooled from 2 separate experiments yielding similar results. For WT CD25-,n = 10; CCR5-/- CD25-, n = 10; WT CD25- plus WT Tregs, n = 8; WT CD25- plus CCR5-/- Tregs, n = 8. (B) Clinical GVHD scores of recipients above were evaluated at the time points shown. Data represent mean score ± SEM at each time point.
