Zusammenfassung
Introduction: We demonstrated positive effects of bone marrow transplantation (BM-Tx) on the long term which were attributed to enhanced fibrolysis in consequence of graft-versus-host induced Th2→Th1 shift (1). In the follow up study we intended to avoid graft versus host effects and focused on reconstitution of Abcb4-transporter function in recipient's hepatocytes by fusion with Abcb4+ transplanted hematopoietic stem cells (2). With the present study we analyzed regenerative potential of transplantation of desialylated and sorted CD117+ hematopoietic stem cells in Abcb4-/- mice, a model of cholangitis. Methods:…
