| Research Abstract |
Cellular immune response for antigen presentation was examined in a rat to mouse xenogeneic combination using species-specific monoclonal antiobodies (mAbs) to donor and recipient ICAM-1 and LFA-1 molecules. Although, either mAb had blocking activity in in vitro MLR assays, marked suppression was demonstrated only when anti-donor (rat) ICAM-1 mAb was combined with anti-recipient (mouse) LFA-1 mAb. Likewise, significant prolongation of islet xenograft survival was observed with the similar treatment of mAbs. Thus, 0.05 mg of anti-mouse LFA-1 mAb and anti-rat ICAM-1 mAb given on days 0 and 1 produced a significant prolongation of graft survival over the control, while anti-mouse ICAM-1 mAb when combined with anti-mouse LFA-1 mAb failed to do so. In this strain combination, mouse T cells were able to proliferate in the presence of rat antigen presenting cells (APCs) in a cell number dependent fashion, but not in the presence of mouse APCs. Binding assay showed that LFA-1 molecules on mouse T cells directly bound immobilized rat ICAM-1 molecules. These results suggest that rat ICAM-1 molecules on APCs can interact with mouse LFA-1 molecules on T cells across a species barrier, and that this binding generates the consequent immune responses leading to rejection, and that mAb treatment against these adhesion molecules of a recipient as well as a donor is crucial for induction of unresponsiveness in a xenogeneic transplantation model.
