| Research Abstract |
[A] We achieved to produce chronic rejection model in ACI to Lewis for allo transplantaiton, and Hamster to rat for xeni transplantation. In hamster to rat model, we reported the importance of spleen cells on suppression of antibody production to result in long term survival in hamster to rat Xenotransplantation.
[B] We produced anti graft antibodies, which consist of IgM fragment only and IgG from Lewis rats transplanted hamster heart. Timing of harvesting serum made it possible to get IgM or IgG rich serum. Administration of very low dose of IgM anti-graft antibody did not induce humoral rejection but induced protective genes on endothelial cells.
But IgG fragment easily induced rejection, and did not make accommodation.
[C] Macrophage depletion by Clodronate prevented production of anti graft antibodiesin hamster to rat xenotransplantation model. Clodronate also relieved graft from chronic rejection by suppression of cytokine production by macrophages.
