abstract="&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE&lt;/b&gt;To explore the feasibility and efficiency of cytosine deaminase (CD)/thymidine kinase (TK) gene-modified donor T cells used in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) as an approach to mitigate GVHD without compromising engraftment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS&lt;/b&gt;The pseudotyped lentivirus vectors containing CD and TK double suicide genes were transfected with lipofectine to donor T cells. Lethally irradiated 615 leukemia mice were transplanted with BALB/c bone marrow plus CD(+)TK(+)T cells. GVHD prophylaxis was by administration of ganciclovir (GCV) and 5-Fluoride cytosine (5-FC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS&lt;/b&gt;The pseudotyped lentivirus-mediated gene transfer system could efficiently transfer CD and TK double suicide genes into donor T cells. Administration of GCV and 5-FC to the mice could markedly potentiate the CFU-S and CFU-GM yields and raise the number of peripheral white blood cells. 1 x 10(7) CD(+)TK(+) allogeneic T cells caused GVHD of a similar magnitude and time course to that of fresh, naive T cells after allo-BMT. Administration of GCV and 5-FC in mice received CD(+)TK(+)T cells reduced the severity of GVHD and resulted in significantly longer survival as compared with non-administration mice, and the effect was stronger than that of administration of GCV or 5-FC alone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION&lt;/b&gt;Administration of CD + TK gene-modified donor T cells to recipient in allo-BMT might be an approach to mitigate GVHD without compromising alloengraftment.&lt;/p&gt;<p /><p>Language: zh</p>",
