Furthermore, this susceptibility is transferable with the bone marrow compartment.
Interestingly, enhanced growth of ER-negative breast cancer was transferable with bone marrow from estrogen-treated mice [ 61].
Despite the apparent importance of HLA-B27 in the pathogenesis, CD8+ T cells were shown not to be essential for the development of arthritis; indeed, disease was transferable with CD4+ T cells.
The social immune response may even be transferable, with the resistance of naive individuals being increased by interacting with individuals that have been exposed to a parasite (Traniello et al. 2002; Ugelvig & Cremer 2007).
This susceptibility is transferable with the bone marrow compartment, as 129S1 mice reconstituted with B6 bone marrow exhibit characteristics of the PIFS phenotype, which include severe CNS vascular permeability, microhemorrhage formation, and functional motor deficit, when compared to 129S1 mice receiving autologous bone marrow transfer [ 14].
These results may not be transferable to people with MND.
Nevertheless, it has to be recognised that our results may not be transferable to ARDS with a different pathogenesis.
Another possible limitation is the homogeneity of the study population included in the trial; results may not be transferable to patients with cancer in general.
Because previous results may not be transferable to countries with different populations and health care delivery systems, it is important to evaluate the current situation of comorbidities in Swiss patients with diabetes.
In spinal cord injured patients, it has been found that emptying the rectosigmoid using irrigation stimulates colonic transit [ 24] however it is not clear whether this is transferable to patients with slow colonic transit and functional constipation.
The interviews offered insights into medication use, which may be transferable to others with similar illness experiences characterised by pain, unpredictable symptoms and concerns about the course of the illness and what to do about it.
