2008, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The NK cells clearly respond to altered class I ligand expression and may represent an innate immune barrier to prenatal transplantation even during human fetal development [13-15]. Murine Ly49 receptor expression occurs postnatally and may be responsible for the progressive rejection of the transplanted B6.TAP−/− cells that occurred between 4 and 6 weeks of age [16-18]. This explanation is incomplete, however, as the differences in chimerism were clearly evident even at the 3-week time-point in our cohort.
