In the first set of experiments, BALB/c mice were reconstituted 24 hours postirradiation (9.25 Gy) with 4 x lo7 bone marrow cells (BMC). Recipients of B6 P+/+ BMC developed lethal GVHD with an onset of clinical signs (weight loss, diarrhea, dermatitis, hunchback position, and fur loss) starting 2-3. weeks after bone marrow transplantation (BMT); the disease progressed, leading to the death of all animals within 64 days posttransplant (TABLE 1). Histopathological assessment of the specimens derived from the affected animals showed marked mononuclear infiltration in
