| Research Abstract |
Purpose : To find a new immunological indicator for allograft rejection in animal model of experimental transplantation, we investigated whether a SPFC (spontaneous plaque-forming cell) as activated monocytes was involved in allograft rejection and whether adhesion molecules of complement receptor 3 (CR3) was involved in hemolysis of SPFC.
Methods and Results : (1) To evaluate SPFC response in skin allograft transplantation of rats, two different combinations of rats disparate with a H-1 histocompatibility locus was chosen. SPFC effector was identified in the infiltrating cells of rejecting transplanted grafts. Numbers of SPFC-effector at peak response of each group in the two experimental transplantation was significantly different. Since SPFC is regulated by a subsets of T-lymphocytes in man, the present findings suggested that SPFC in rats also may be regulated by T-lymphocytes and reflected a histoincompatibility. (2) The Mo-1, anti-human CR3 monoclonal antibody suppressed in vitro hemolysis of SPFC in man by adding the SPFC assay. The OX42, anti-rat CR3 monoclonal antibody also inhibited in vitro hemolysis of SPFC in rats. The CR3 molecule involves in hemolysis of SPFC in both man and rat.
Conclusions : The SPFC as cellular effector of activated monocytes may be a useful immunologic indicator for manipulating allograft rejection.
