Lack of acute GVHD in recipients of thymic emigrants.
C57Bl/6 thymic emigrants (4 × 106) were transferred into allogeneic SCID recipients as in Figure 9 and examined for induction of acute GVHD as indicated by loss of body weight and mortality. For comparison, unfractionated C57Bl/6 lymph node cells (0.5 × 106), purified splenic T cells (0.5 × 106), or unfractionated intrathymic cells (4 × 106) were injected.
