    Cells exerting a veto type of suppressive activity, that is, suppressing the cytotoxic T lymphocyte formation against the class I major histocompatibility complex antigen on their surface, can be found in different lymphoid tissues, for example, in the bone marrow. In this study we show that there is variation in the vitro veto-cell activity between bone marrow cells derived from different mouse strains: bone marrow cells derived from mice carrying the non-H-2 genes of B10/B6 mice had clearly the strongest veto activity.

    To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

    Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

    Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
    The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...
