The adoptive transfer of pregnancy-induced unresponsiveness to male skin grafts with thymus-dependent cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
A majority of C57BL/10Sn females pregnant six or more times by syngeneic males do not reject male skin grafts. The pregnancy induced tolerance of male skin grafts was transferred adoptively to virgin recipients by thymus-dependent cells from multiparous tolerant donors.

Mechanisms maintaining enhancement of allografts. I. Demonstration of a specific suppressor cell
DA rats treated with hyperimmune anti-PVG serum and grafted with (DA X PVG)F1 heart grafts in which graft survival was prolonged for greater than 75 d were used to examine the cellular mechanisms that maintain the state of specific unresponsiveness found in these animals. The capacity of lymphocytes from these animals to effect or inhibit graft rejection on adoptive transfer to irradiated heart...
متن کاملSpecific unresponsiveness in rats with prolonged cardiac allograft survival after treatment with cyclosporine. Mediation of specific suppression by T helper/inducer cells
DA rats grafted with major histocompatibility complex-incompatible PVG heart grafts and treated with cyclosporine (CY) for 10 d do not reject their grafts, and develop a state of specific unresponsiveness toward PVG allografts. Cells from these animals tested in an adoptive transfer assay were incapable of restoring PVG graft rejection, and capable of specifically inhibiting the capacity of ado...
متن کاملCD25+ immunoregulatory CD4 T cells mediate acquired central transplantation tolerance.
Transplantation tolerance is induced reliably in experimental animals following intrathymic inoculation with the relevant donor strain Ags; however, the immunological mechanisms responsible for the induction and maintenance of the tolerant state remain unknown. We investigated these mechanisms using TCR transgenic mice (TS1) that carry T cells specific for an immunodominant, MHC class II-restri...
متن کاملInfluence of the thymus on the capacity of female mice to reject male skin grafts
The ability of female mice to reject H-Y-incompatible, but otherwise histocompatible, male skin grafts differs greatly from strain to strain, as is illustrated particularly by the C57BL strain (B6 and other sublines), termed "H-Y rejector," because females invariably and promptly reject C57BL male skin, in comparison with the C3H strain, termed "H-Y nonrejector," because females characteristica...
متن کاملHuman CD4+ T cells mediate rejection of porcine xenografts.
It has previously been demonstrated that xenograft rejection in rodents is dependent on CD4+ T cells. However, because of the lack of an appropriate in vivo model, little is known about the cellular basis of human T cell-mediated rejection of xenografts. In this study, we have evaluated the ability of human T cells to mediate rejection of porcine skin grafts in a novel in vivo experimental syst...
