| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed at the establishment of prevention and the therapy of lymphatic hyperplasia (PTLD:post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder) after EB virus (EBV)-related transplant.After at first having multiplied in liver, the infected cells which shifted with a graft were supplied in peripheral blood, and it was shown that we made niche to the other organ and lymph nodes and were connected for the PTLD onset.Also, increase (more than 3 times) of the PTLD incidence was shown by a person or a mouse under the immunosuppressive drug administration.
This study suggested that choice of the optimal quantity of the quantity of immunosuppressive drug was important.
