Abstract
Mixed hematopoietic chimerism after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can modulate the immune system and induce tolerance to allogeneic tissues. However, bone marrow conditioning–related toxicities preclude wider adoption of HCT for transplant allotolerance. We sought agents that reduced conditioning intensity, while promoting durable mixed chimerism after HCT across complete MHC mismatch in diabetic mice, permitting islet allotransplantation and diabetes reversal. We systematically tested baricitinib (JAK1/2 inhibitor), venetoclax (Bcl-2 inhibitor), and CD47 antibody, agents in current clinical use, and quantified hematopoietic chimerism after HCT. Combined with CD117 antibody, transient T cell depletion, and just 10 centigray total body irradiation, these agents enabled durable mixed chimerism and matching alloislet tolerance to cure diabetes without evidence of graft-versus-host disease. Thus, we have developed a conditioning regimen to promote allogeneic mixed hematopoietic chimerism and transplanted islet allotolerance that minimizes conditioning radiation and cures diabetes.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
