H-2 antigen class: effect on mouse islet allograft rejection.

C E Morrow, D E Sutherland, M W Steffes

    Science (New York, N.Y.)
    |March 18, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Major histocompatibility complex class I (H-2K and H-2D) antigen disparities alone can trigger pancreatic islet allograft rejection in mice. Lack of class II (I-region) antigen differences does not guarantee long-term graft survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Transplantation Biology
    • Histocompatibility

    Background:

    • Pancreatic islet transplantation is a potential therapy for type 1 diabetes.
    • Graft rejection is a major obstacle in islet transplantation.
    • The role of specific histocompatibility antigens in rejection is complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II antigens in mouse pancreatic islet allograft rejection.
    • To determine if MHC class I disparities alone can induce rejection.

    Main Methods:

    • Mouse models were used with varying H-2 region antigen compatibilities.
    • Pancreatic islet allografts were transplanted between donor and recipient mice.
    • Graft rejection rates were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • High rates of rejection were observed even when donor and recipient were identical for H-2 I-region (class II) antigens.
    • Rejection occurred when disparities existed solely at H-2K and H-2D (class I) loci.
    • Lack of class II disparity did not prevent rejection.

    Conclusions:

    • Major histocompatibility complex class I antigens (H-2K, H-2D) are sufficient to elicit pancreatic islet allograft rejection.
    • Absence of class II (I-region) alloantigenic stimulation does not ensure permanent islet allograft survival.
    • These findings have implications for understanding and improving transplantation strategies.
