Specific features of the immune response in old recipient mice to cell therapy.

Implantation of somatic cells from autopsy specimens (15-18 weeks gestation) had a modulatory effect on immunogenesis in old mice. Activation of the immune system in recipient animals after administration of somatic cells reflects a multistage influence of test preparation. The observed changes were reversible. A progressive decrease in activation of the immune system in recipient mice was not accompanied by the development of pathological changes. Repeated implantation was required to maintain these processes.
