In situ effector pathways of allograft destruction. 1. Generation of the "cellular" effector response in the graft and the graft recipient.

Abstract：

:Inflammatory leukocytes of DA-to-WF rat renal allografts displayed significant cytolytic activity to natural killer (NK) target cells on Day 2 after transplantation. The NK activity, which was associated with large granular lymphocytes in discontinuous Percoll gradients, peaked on Day 4 and disappeared rapidly thereafter. Coincident with the presence of NK activity in the graft, a decrease in NK activity in the recipient spleen was observed. Low NK activity was also recorded in WF-to-WF autografts. The cells displaying direct cytotoxic activity to donor (but not to recipient) strain peritoneal exudate target cells (PEC) were associated with the T suppressor/killer lymphocytes in affinity chromatography. They appeared in the graft between Days 2 and 4, peaked between Days 6 and 8 and disappeared slowly thereafter. In the spleen the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity appeared later and it reached a maximum between Days 16 and 20 before decreasing. In the blood distinct CTL activity was seen only from Days 16-20 onwards, after the graft had been rejected. No CTL activity was recorded in the graft, blood, or spleen of an autograft recipient. Addition of donor-directed post-transplantation antibody (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, ADCC) had a slight enhancing effect on the cytotoxic activity of inflammatory leukocytes up to Day 5. After this time, added antibody had a blocking effect on direct CTL activity. No ADCC activity was recorded in the inflammatory population of an autograft. On the contrary, high levels of ADCC activity to donor strain PEC were recorded in the spleens of both autograft and allograft recipients throughout the period of follow-up. The results demonstrate that at least three cellular effector pathways exist in an allograft: a strong natural killer cell component, a strong cytotoxic T lymphocyte component, and (possibly) a weak cell component participating in an ADCC type of cytotoxicity.
