| Abstract |
Total body irradiation (TBI) is part of the preconditioning regimen for allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (alloBMT) and the procedure is associated with treatment-related toxicity and delayed immune reconstitution. Natural killer (NK) cells develop and acquire functional competence in close interaction with stromal bone marrow cells that are considered relatively radioresistant compared to the hematopoietic compartment. We thus undertook a study to assess the effect of TBI on the reconstitution of class I MHC-specific Ly49 NK cell receptors in a rat model of alloBMT. In rats subjected to TBI alone or followed by MHC-matched BMT, the irradiation conditioning induced a skewing of the Ly49 repertoire. Specifically, the activating Ly49s3(bright) subset exhibited increased frequency and receptor density which correlated with augmented alloreactivity relative to untreated control rats. Our results highlight the plasticity of NK cells and indicate that ionizing radiation (IR) affects the stromal compartment and as a consequence the maturation and functional properties of bone marrow-derived NK cells. These changes lasted throughout the 6 months observation period, showing that irradiation induces long term effects on the generation of the NK cell receptor repertoire. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 June 2015.
All research outputs
#15,292,791
of 24,248,886 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
#3,139
of 9,857 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#142,894
of 270,697 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
#12
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,248,886 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,857 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 270,697 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
