MHC mismatch inhibits neurogenesis and neuron maturation in stem cell allografts.
PLoS One. 2011; (3): e14787
The role of histocompatibility and immune recognition in stem cell transplant therapy has been controversial, with many reports arguing that undifferentiated stem cells are protected from immune recognition due to the absence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) markers. This argument is even more persuasive in transplantation into the central nervous system (CNS) where the graft rejection response is minimal.
