Definition:
(v. t.) To graft; to fix deeply.
Example Sentences:

Definition:
(v. t.) See Ingraft.
Example Sentences:
(1) Furthermore, comparison of these studies has revealed a differential dose response relationship between the number of graft lymphocytes, protection of engraftment, and induction of acute GVHD.
(2) Engraftment of donor cells was documented by HLA typing of peripheral lymphocytes.
(3) Glucose response to an arginine challenge was initially abnormal in both groups of mice, but was identical to normal controls 4 months after transplantation, showing that engraftment is a gradual process.
(4) Studies in severe combined immunodeficient mice that were engrafted with selected lymphocyte subpopulations show that B cells, and hence anti-Cryptococcus antibodies, are not necessary for the CD4+ T cell-dependent responses that isolate and subsequently destroy this opportunistic pathogen in the lung parenchyma.
(5) Marrow depleted of T cells exhibited reduced engraftment in the recipient fetuses.
(6) Treating bone marrow with MoAbs to myeloid differentiation antigens does not interfere with pluripotential stem cell engraftment.
(7) Prophylaxis by T cell depletion is associated with increased rates of engraftment failure and leukemic relapse.
(8) Posttransplant recovery was uneventful, and engraftment was comparable to that in 4 patients treated with a similar preparative regimen followed by infusion of autologous marrow.
(9) Ten dogs were given a combination of mAb 7.2 pregrafting and MTX after grafting, and 9 had evidence of engraftment.
(10) Three patients who received T-cell-depleted marrow cells from HLA-haploidentical donors failed to engraft and other graft failures were due to inadequate induction dosage.
(11) The in vivo use of an anti-CD11a-LFA-1 antibody as an additional immunosuppressive therapy in HLA-nonidentical BMT may thus promote engraftment and survival with correction of the primary disease in a significant number of patients with life-threatening immunodeficiency and osteopetrosis, but not with Fanconi's anemia.
(12) All four patients achieved quick engraftment, and three of the four patients are alive and well today.
(13) Engraftment has been sustained for one year and the patient is in normal health and has normal in vitro immunological function.
(14) Three of the seven surviving patients have durable engraftment (greater than 230 to greater than 550 days) while four patients have autologous hematopoietic recovery.
(15) All patients who failed to show engraftment or who rejected their bone marrow graft within three weeks had serum inhibitory to normal bone marrow cell culture, but inhibition could not be demonstrated against autologous bone marrow cells in these patients with aplastic anaemia.
(16) This study demonstrated that poor engraftment was a frequent complication of ABMT when early posttransplant cytotoxic therapy was attempted.
(17) The progressive disappearance of this autoreactivity was correlated with the engraftment of Ia-positive cells (monocytes plus B lymphocytes) of donor origin and the achievement of complete immunological reconstitution.
(18) Researchers are currently trying to reduce the RR by intensifying the conditioning regimen or using the graft-versus-leukemia effect of allogeneic T cells, reducing GvHD by the use of monoclonal antibodies, and improving the engraftment by the use of growth factors.
(19) The present work suggests that fetal liver infusion given following induction chemotherapy may increase the remission rate in AML either by temporary engraftment or by accelerating the rate of haematological recovery.
(20) These mice developed an active inflammatory myopathy beginning 15 days after engraftment.
