    T cells, but not B cells, infiltrate mouse skin allografts during rejection. This study highlights T cell migration in transplant rejection, differentiating immune cell roles in graft rejection.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Transplantation Biology
    • Cellular Biology

    Background:

    • Understanding immune cell trafficking is crucial for managing transplant rejection.
    • T and B lymphocytes play distinct roles in immune responses, including graft rejection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the migration patterns of T and B lymphocytes into skin allografts during rejection.
    • To differentiate the roles of T cells versus B cells in the cellular infiltrate of rejecting allografts.

    Main Methods:

    • Purification of T and B lymphocytes from sensitized mouse spleen cells using immunabsorbent columns.
    • In vitro labeling of purified lymphocytes with 3H-uridine.
    • Intravenous injection of labeled cells into recipient mice bearing skin allografts and isografts.

  • Autoradiographic analysis of cell distribution in grafts 24 hours post-transfer.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant infiltration of labeled T cells into skin allografts, with minimal presence in syngeneic isografts.
    • B cells showed negligible migration into both allografts and isografts.
    • Both T and B cells demonstrated normal homing to lymphoid tissues.

    Conclusions:

    • T lymphocytes are the primary mediators of cellular infiltration in rejecting skin allografts.
    • B lymphocyte migration into skin grafts during rejection is minimal.
    • These findings underscore the critical role of T cell homing in allograft rejection.
