Correction of enzyme deficiency in mice by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation with total lymphoid irradiation

Journal Article · · Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)
Enzyme deficiency was corrected in mice after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation with occurrence of graft versus host disease. Beta-Glucuronidase-deficient C3H/HeJ mice were treated with total lymphoid irradiation. Normal bone marrow cells (30 x 10(6)) from BALB/o to C3H/HeJ chimeras (> 90 percent circulating donor-type cells) without graft versus host disease. Beta-Glucuronidase activity increases to normal levels in all chimeras as measured in the liver and in the plasma. Activity was maintained throughout an observation period of 7 months.
