Methotrexate (MTX),* cyclosporine, and more recently FK506 have been used successfully either alone or in combination to prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in dogs (1-5), and also in human patients (6–8) undergoing marrow transplantation. While quite effective in HLA-identical marrow grafts, the drugs have been considerably less active in preventing GVHD in recipients of marrow from less-well-matched donors (9–11). Therefore, the search for new immunosuppressive agents has continued. We have tested one such agent, corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), in a well-established preclinical canine model. CRF is a major central nervous system regulator for stress responses (12). Recent studies have shown that CRF also plays an important role in the immune system: CRF regulates natural killer cell cytotoxicity (13, 14); inhibits T lymphocyte proliferation (12, 15); inhibits T cell and transendothelial cell migration (Oppenheimer-Marks N, personal communication); blocks local inflammatory reactions induced by physical or chemical damage (16, 17); and suppresses the release of certain inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and interferon (12, 18). CRF-induced
