    Active immunization with allogeneic cells induces circulating T lymphocytes that suppress mixed lymphocyte interactions. This immune modulation is specific but can occur independently of active allograft enhancement, suggesting complex regulatory mechanisms in transplantation.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Transplantation Biology
    • Cellular Immunology

    Background:

    • Investigating methods to actively enhance renal or cardiac allografts.
    • Understanding the in vitro mixed lymphocyte interaction (MLI) following immunization protocols.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the immune response generated by a bone marrow cell immunization protocol.
    • To determine the mechanisms underlying changes in mixed lymphocyte interaction after immunization.

    Main Methods:

    • Immunization of animals with allogeneic cells across a range of doses and times.
    • Assessment of peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro mixed lymphocyte interaction assays.
    • Cell mixing experiments to identify suppressor cell activity and characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Immunization significantly reduced mixed lymphocyte interaction.
    • A circulating suppressor cell, with T lymphocyte adherence properties, was identified as responsible for the MLI reduction.
    • Suppression was specific, though a nonspecific background was noted; thymocytes, splenocytes, and platelets were effective immunogens.

    Conclusions:

    • The bone marrow cell immunization protocol generates circulating suppressor T lymphocytes.
    • These suppressor cells modulate in vitro immune responses, independent of active allograft enhancement capability.
    • Findings suggest distinct pathways for immune suppression and active allograft enhancement in transplantation.
