| Research Abstract |
When Meth A fibrosarcoma cells were i. p. injected to C57BL/6 mice, two types of cytotoxic cells [i. e. , CD^<8+> cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and macrophages (Mphis) ]infiltrated into the rejection site. The Mphis lysed the allografted tumor cells but were inert toward the donor-type lymphoblasts. By contrast, the CTLs were inactive against transplanted tumor cells, whereas they were cytotoxic against donor-related lymphoblsts. The infiltration of Mphis preceded the infiltration of CTLs by several days during the course of rejection. The tumor cells started to grow within 3 days after transplantation and ceased to grow on day 7 with infiltration of recipient cells including Mphis and CLTs. Rapid elimination of Meth A cells from the peritoneal cavity began around day 9, and by day 12 Meth A cells had been completely rejected from the peritoneal cavity. After the DMDP-liposome treatment, which could effectively and selectively eliminate Mphis from peritoneal exudate cells, there were almost no cytotoxic cells against Meth A cells in the transplantation site and the tumor cells continued to grow there, indicating that a type of Mphi is the effector cell essential for the rejection. Based on these findings, we prepared both effector cells and traget form the graft-graft bed border of skin allograft and detemined the cytotoxic activity of infiltrates (e. g. , Imyphocyte, granulocte and Mphi population) against skin components. The results indicate that the skin damage mediated by allograft-infiltrating cells can be ascribed mainly to Mphis.
