Liver aLow doses (2 x 107) of splenic T cells produce a CGVHD in the LP ^ B6 strain combination; larger T cell inocula (5 x 107) result in lethal AGVHD. ^Sublethal irradiation (600 rad) is necessary to generate chronic GVHD in the B10.D2 ^ BALB/c strain combination. Higher doses of irradiation produce lethal AGVHD.

Osteoarthritis
Thank you for deciding to learn more about the disorder, Osteoarthritis. Inside these pages, you will learn what it is, who is most at risk for developing it, what causes it, and some treatment plans to help those that do have it feel better. While there is no definitive “cure” for Osteoarthritis, there are ways in which individuals can improve their quality of life and change the discomfort level to one that can be tolerated on a daily basis.
