Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have investigated whether or how pathogenesis of graft versus host diseases (GVHD) depends on a dendritic cell subset, XCR1+DC, which is known to be involved in activation of cytotoxic T cells. First, I established the analyzing system for GVHD. Then by utilizing control or XCR1-DTA mice, in which XCR1+DCs are constitutively ablated, I have found that donor-derived XCR1+DCs are involved in pathogenesis of GVHD.
