Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells,a kind of adult stem cell from bone marrow,have idiopathic negative immunomodulatory character.They can affect the function of T lymphocytes,B lymphocytes,NK cells and dendritic cells via cell-to-cell contact,secreting cytokines such as transform growth factor beta(TGF-β),or modulating the metabolism of these cells.Through these ways mesenchymal stem cells has promising prospect on the rebuilding of immune system and graft-versus-host disease after stem cell transplantation.
