ABSTRACT
Harboring of cells from another individual is referred to as chimerism, and microchimerism indicates low levels of non-host cells. Chronic graft-versus-host disease is a condition of human chimerism, that shares clinical similarities with some autoimmune diseases especially systemic sclerosis, primary biliary cirrhosis and Sjögren’s syndrome. This led to the hypothesis that microchimeric cells could be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Persistence of fetal cells in women as well as maternal cells in their offspring have been reported, but contradictory results for most of the diseases investigated cause difficulty in drawing any conclusions about the role of microchimerism in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.
