Wehave developed a murine model of in utero transplantation in nonanemic, β-thalassemic mice to study chimerism, tolerance, and changes inhematological parameters in response to cytokines and postnatal boosts withdonor cells. We have documented improved survival of homozygous fetuses by 40% as compared with controls. Low-level, mixed chimerism was improved bypostnatal cytokine therapy and boosts and was associated with improvement inhemoglobin levels, reticulocyte counts, and iron stores. Cytotoxicity assaysdemonstrated higher responses to donor cells in control mice as compared within utero transplanted animals (at 50: 1 effector to target ratios, transplantedmice showed 8.66% target lysis and control mice showed 51.85% target lysis, P= 0.0003), indicatingtolerance. The combination of prenatal tolerance to allogeneic cells withpostnatal boosts in primed hosts may become an effective, nontoxic strategyfor the improvement of hemolytic anemia in β-thalassemicpatients.
