Microchimerism in Graves’ Disease [PDF]

Journal of Thyroid Research, 2012
Microchimerism is the presence of cells from one individual in another genetically distinct individual. Pregnancy is the main cause of natural microchimerism through transplacental bidirectional cell trafficking between mother and ...

Microchimerism [PDF]

Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2011
The bidirectional exchange of cells, both mature and progenitor types, at the maternal-fetal interface is a common feature of mammalian reproduction. The presence of semiallogeneic cells in a host can have significant immunological effects on transplantation tolerance and rejection.

Microchimerism. [PDF]

Blood, 2009
Abstract Abstract SCI-46 Microchimerism (MC) is the long-term persistence of an allogeneic cell population of <5% relative to host cells. MC may result from various allogeneic exposures, including transplantation, pregnancy, twinning and blood transfusion.

High Frequency of Post-Transfusion Microchimerism Among Multi-Transfused Beta-Thalassemic Patients

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundTransfusion-associated microchimerism implies the presence of allogeneic hematopoietic cells in an individual, following the transfusion of a blood product.

A research study of the association between maternal microchimerism and systemic lupus erythematosus in adults: a comparison between patients and healthy controls based on single-nucleotide polymorphism using quantitative real-time PCR. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundNaturally acquired microchimerism may arise in the mother and her child during pregnancy when bidirectional trafficking of cells occurs through the placental barrier.

Evidence for Microchimerism in Baboon Recipients of Pig Hearts

Viruses, 2023
Xenotransplantation, like allotransplantation, is usually associated with microchimerism, i.e., the presence of cells from the donor in the recipient.

Transfusion‐associated microchimerism [PDF]

Vox Sanguinis, 2007
Blood transfusion is a newly recognized cause of microchimerism, the stable persistence of a minor population of allogeneic cells. Relatively recent advances in polymerase chain reaction technology have spawned new information about the frequency and aetiology of transfusion‐associated microchimerism (TA‐MC).

Y-chromosome DNA is present in the blood of female dogs suggesting the presence of fetal microchimerism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Fetal microchimerism has been suggested to play contradictory roles in women's health, with factors including age of the recipient, time elapsed since microchimerism occurred, and microchimeric cell type modulating disease.

Redefining the Immunobiology of Organ Transplantation for New Clinical Horizons. [PDF]

Scand J Immunol
ABSTRACT Traditional organ transplantation relies on the Self–Non‐self (SNS) model of immunity, focusing on donor–recipient compatibility and aggressive immunosuppression to prevent acute rejection. Although effective early, this strategy does not prevent chronic rejection and cannot account for operational tolerance, failure of perfectly HLA‐matched ...
