Donor lymphocyte infusion induces long-term donor-specific cardiac xenograft survival through activation of recipient double-negative regulatory T cells.
Previous studies have shown that pretransplant donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) can enhance xenograft survival. However, the mechanism by which DLI induces xenograft survival remains obscure. Using T cell subset-deficient mice as recipients we show that CD4+, but not CD8+, T cells are necessary to mediate the rejection of concordant cardiac xenografts. Adoptive transfer of naive CD4+ T cells ind...
متن کاملRole of double-negative regulatory T cells in long-term cardiac xenograft survival.
A novel subset of CD3(+)CD4(-)CD8(-) (double negative; DN) regulatory T cells has recently been shown to induce donor-specific skin allograft acceptance following donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). In this study, we investigated the effect of DLI on rat to mouse cardiac xenotransplant survival and the ability of DN T cells to regulate xenoreactive T cells. B6 mice were given either DLI from Lewis...
متن کاملDonor-lymphocyte infusion induces transplantation tolerance by activating systemic and graft-infiltrating double-negative regulatory T cells.
Donor-lymphocyte infusion (DLI) before transplantation can lead to specific tolerance to allografts in mice, nonhuman primates, and humans. We and others have demonstrated a role for regulatory T cells in DLI-induced, donor-specific transplantation tolerance, but it is not known how regulatory T cells are activated and where they execute their function. In this study, we observed, in both trans...
متن کاملRole of Donor-Specific Regulatory T Cells in Long-Term Acceptance of Rat Hind Limb Allograft
BACKGROUND Vascularized bone marrow transplantation (VBMT) is widely accepted as an efficient means of establishing chimerism and inducing tolerance. However, the mechanism underlying is poorly understood. Recently, regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to play an important role in regulating immune responses to allogeneic antigens. In this study, we explored the role of Tregs in the induc...
متن کاملMechanisms of long-term donor-specific allograft survival induced by pretransplant infusion of lymphocytes.
Pretransplantation donor-specific transfusion (DST) can enhance allograft survival in man and animals. However, due to the lack of a specific marker to identify donor-reactive cells in vivo in man and normal (nontransgenic) animals, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we use 2CF1 transgenic mice expressing a transgenic T-cell receptor (TCR) specifically recognizing Ld, a ma...
