Type 2 immune induction by cotransplanted CD11b+CD11c+ MDSCs is required for GVHD prevention. Lethally irradiated B6.bm1 (H-2Kbm1) recipient mice were reconstituted with B6-dervied (H-2Kb) T-cell-depleted bone marrow (TCD-BM) and SCs either derived from B6 wild-type (WT) mice (H-2Kb) or STAT6−/− mice (H-2Kb). B6-derived (H-2Kb) CD11b+CD11c+ MDSCs were cotransplanted at day of transplantation. (A) Survival and (B) GVHD scores were analyzed. Surviving animals/total animals treated are indicated in brackets. (C) Ten days after transplantation, serum cytokine concentrations of Th2- (IL-5) and Th1-associated (IFN-γ and TNF-α) cytokines were determined. (A) Data represent the mean value ± SEM. (B) Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test. (C) Mann-Whitney U test. * p ≤ 0.05; ** p ≤ 0.01; n.s., not significant.
