• Clinical observations and studies have shown that among 34 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) under infliximab (INFX) therapy in 8.8% cases was observed the loss of response to anticytokine therapy (so-called primary ineffectiveness of anti-cytokine therapy (ACT)). The increasing of INFX dosage up to 10 mg/kg of body weight failed to achieve clinical and endoscopic remission. It should be noted that, despite the long anticytokine therapy in these patients the antibodies to INFX were not observed and INFX concentration in blood serum practically was not determined. In CD patients with primary ineffectiveness of anti-cytokine therapy (ACT) was detected clinical deterioration of CD: increase of WR Best Index (CDAI), appearance of pain, fever, increase of stool frequency with blood and mucus, improving performance of acute phase of inflammation. Transplantation of mesenchymal bone marrow stromal cells (MSC) enhanced the level of INFX in the serum and overcoming the primary ineffectiveness of anti-cytokine therapy (ACT) and increase in sensitivity to Infliximab.
