immune system
• splenocytes in mice receiving a Bm12 to B6 allograft show significantly higher anti-donor responder frequencies when challenged with Bm12 antigen presenting cells
|
• marginal decrease in proliferation of CD8+ T cells, and no decrease in CD4+ T cells, stimulated with fully MHC mismatched cells
|
• increased proliferation of CD4+ T cells stimulated with MHC class II antigens
• splenocytes adoptively transfered into irradiated Bm12 hosts enter the cell cycle and undergo multiple rounds of division within 72 hours, unlike wild-type cells
• CD8+ T cells show a marginal increase in proliferation in response to MHC class II antigens
• however, cells receiving strong alloreactive stimulation show little difference from wild-type cells
|
• reduced production of IFNG by alloreactive T cells in response to strong alloactivation (full MHC mismatch)
|
• reduced production of IL2 by alloreactive T cells in response to strong alloactivation (full MHC mismatch)
|
• increases survival of fully MHC-mismatched cardiac allografts (12 +/- 5 days) compared to wild-type (8 +/- 1 days)
• treatment with rapamycin significantly prolongs allograft survival (53 +/- 12 days) compared to treated wild-type (11 +/- 2 days)
