Recirculating, suppressor T cells in transplantation tolerance.

S Dorsch, R Roser

    The Journal of Experimental Medicine
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Transplantation tolerance in rats is maintained by long-lived suppressor T cells. These cells target lymphocyte precursors, preventing immune responses and ensuring graft acceptance.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Transplantation Biology

    Background:

    • Graft rejection remains a significant challenge in organ transplantation.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of transplantation tolerance is crucial for improving graft survival.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of suppressor T cells in maintaining transplantation tolerance.
    • To identify the characteristics and targets of these suppressor cells.

    Main Methods:

    • Adoptive transfer of cells from tolerant rats to irradiated recipients.
    • Adult thymectomy in tolerant rats to assess the thymus's role.
    • Assessment of graft rejection and suppressor cell function.

    Main Results:

    • Adoptive transfer of T cells from tolerant donors induced tolerance in irradiated recipients.
    • Suppressor T cells are long-lived and recirculate, originating from lymphoid tissues.
    • Thymectomy did not abrogate established tolerance but made rats more susceptible to its termination.

    Conclusions:

    • Transplantation tolerance is mediated by long-lived, recirculating suppressor T cells.
    • These cells likely act on lymphocyte precursors, leading to clonal deletion or inactivation.
    • The thymus is important for maintaining the pool of suppressor T cells.
