Abstract
Calcitonin is used to reduce high serum calcium levels in patients with malignancy, and as therapy for osteoporosis and Paget's disease. Receptors for the peptide have been identified in some human cancer cells including those of lung, breast, bone, prostate, and medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, suggesting that an imaging agent for the receptors might be useful in nuclear oncology. A modified chloramine-T method was used to label a pharmaceutical form of salmon calcitonin (SCT) with iodine-123. Labelling can be performed within 5 min including purification, resulting in >95% radiochemical purity and 70% yield. Digestion analysis shows labelling with two iodine atoms on the tyrosine residue. A Chinese hamster ovary cell-based assay showed that the receptor binding and activation were not impaired by the labelling. Biodistribution in mice was similar to that of commercially available mono-iodinated 125I-labelled SCT, kidney being the principal target organ. Evaluation in three patients previously diagnosed as having Paget's disease (injected with 37 MBq [123I]diiodotyrosyl22-SCT, containing less than 4 IU hormone, imaged dynamically up to 0.5 h and at intervals up to 24 h) shows early uptake in liver, kidney and sites of known Paget's disease but not in normal bone, and later uptake in thyroid and stomach. Blood clearance was fitted to a biexponential with half-lives of 3.4-7.4 min and 3-34 h. Radiation dosimetry was estimated using MIRDOSE 3. The highest doses (mean mGy/MBq) were to thyroid (6.8x10(-1)) and kidney (6.0x10(-2)), with a whole-body dose 3.0x10(-2). High performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that urinary radioactivity was mostly in the form of iodide and diiodotyrosine within minutes of injection, indicating rapid in vivo breakdown. In summary, [123I]diiodotyrosyl22-SCT binds to calcitonin receptors and can image sites of Paget's disease but its imaging potential is not optimal because of rapid breakdown and clearance from target tissues, and an alternative radiolabelling approach is required.

Abstract
Studies using neonatal hearts grafted into the foot pads of adult rats have shown significant differences in the tempo of rejection in various RT1-incompatible combinations of donor and recipient rats. The model allows simultaneous study of events in the graft and in the regional node draining the graft. Removal of the regional node in the inductive stages of the immune response resulted in highly significant prolongation of graft survival. This effect was not due to lymphatic interruption per se or to clonal deletion. The effect was independent of the presence of the primary graft. Second grafts implanted in animals from which both the original graft and its regional node had been removed showed prolonged survival. Once survival of the original graft, from which the node was removed, was established, survival of second grafts bearing the same antigens was also prolonged, although third-party grafts were rejected in first set time. The data suggest that the microenvironment and anatomical connections of the lymph node that first receives antigen, or the cells that have contacted antigen in the graft, or both, play a vital role in an orderly sequence of cellular interaction and migration that culminates in graft rejection. Interruption of this sequence by node removal appears to divert the alloimmune response toward specific enhancement of the graft.

Abstract
In order to differentiate between donor (chimeric F1) cells and host cells as being responsible for suppression in transplantation tolerance (TT), cells from tolerant donors were first subject to negative selection through F1 hybrid intermediate host animals. This revealed that the suppressor cells was neither completely removed from the lymph nor recoverable from the lymphoid tissues of the filter rat when highly suppressive inocula were used, suggesting that suppression did not directly depend on cells with receptors for alloantigens. The phenotype of donor and host cells in the recirculating pool was studied with fluorescent antisera and showed that both host cells and chimeric F1 cells were in the thoracic duct lymph of tolerant rats and were capable of recirculation. T and B lymphocytes of both types were present but the IgG-positive, presumptive memory B cells were highly enriched in those rapidly recirculating cells, obtained by filtration of tolerant inocula through irradiated intermediate hosts. These cells were also highly enriched for suppressor function. Methods which selectively depleted either the chimeric T cells or the B cells were applied to tolerant inocula and on adoptive transfer of these inocula, suppression was eliminated only when chimeric T cells were eliminated. This strict dependence of suppression of F1 hybrid T cells is interpreted as evidence that these cells probably suppress directly, via an anti-idiotypic mechanism, the alloreactive cells bearing idiotype-positive major histocompatibility complex receptors.

Abstract
The lymphocytes from neonatally tolerant rats which adoptively transfer tolerance to sublethally irradiated recipients do so by specifically suppressing the regeneration of alloreactivity which normally occurs after irradiation. Although tolerant cells will only partially suppress normal alloreactive cells when the two are mixed in near equivalent numbers, experiments in which the interval between injection of tolerant and normal cells into irradiated recipients was gradually extended, indicated that total suppression of normally alloreactive cells was achieved after 8 weeks of prior residence of tolerant cells in the adoptive host. Further evidence that tolerant cells would only suppress if present in excess of normal cells was obtained by reducing the tolerant cell population in tolerant donor rats by whole body irradiation. These animals then lost their ability to suppress normal alloreactive cells administered to them. The immune status of adoptively tolerized animals did not mimic that of the donors of the tolerant cells. Even where full tolerance, as measured by skin graft survival, failure to synthesize alloantibodies, and capacity to further transfer skin graft tolerance to secondary recipients, was evident the lymphocytes of these animals showed considerable graft-versus-host (GVH) reactivity. The persistence of tolerance through repeated adoptive transfers was correlated with the persistence of donor (chimeric) cells and the indicator skin graft on adoptive recipients only amplified tolerance expression where the inocula of tolerant cells given was weakly suppressive. Finally, removal of the minor population of chimeric cells from tolerant inocula using cytotoxic alloantisera abolished the capacity to transfer tolerance. These results imply an active role for chimeric cells which is best understood as an immune response involving proliferation driven by the idiotypes of the alloreceptors on host cells.

Abstract
PVG rats bearing a transplantable T cell leukemia were treated with large inocula of lymphoid cells from AUG rats sensitized either against the leukemia or against PVG lymphocytes. AUG and PVG bear identical Ag-B antigens but differ at minor loci, including the Pta loci, which code for differentiation antigens expressed only on peripheral T lymphocytes. Treatment with AUG cells immune to either the PVG leukemia or normal PVG cells resulted in prolonged survival of leukemic rats, a profound but ephemeral leukopenia and prolonged disappearance of leukemic cells from lymphoid tissue. All treated animals, however, eventually died with large, discrete deposits of leukemic cells in both hard and soft tissues. Despite the deliberate mismatching of host and donor cells for minor transplanation antigens, no evidence of GVH symptoms was observed in treated rats. This was interpreted as a result of directing the adoptive immune response to antigens of restricted distribution, i.e., on leukocytes and not on somatic cells.

Abstract
An adoptive transfer system was used to study the cellular basis of memory in animals immunized by grafting with major histocompatibility complex incompatible tissue. Memory was characterised by a large (greater than 100 fold) increase in the potency of lymphocytes to precure graft rejection. This increase in potency endured for at least 1 yr after sensitization. The memory cells were shown to be Ig-- small lymphocytes which were long lived and which did not recirculate from blood to lymph in normal recipients although they did home to lymphoid tissue from which they could be recovered several months later. The thymus was not required either for the generation of memory cells or their maintenance. Cells carrying memory for alloantibody synthesis did recirculate normally but alloantibody synthesis was shown not to be required for rejection.

Abstract
The nature of the cells required for first-set graft rejection in vivo was examined by using an adoptive transfer system to restore heart-graft rejection in irradiated rats. Highly purified inocula of peripheral T lymphocytes were shown to quantitatively account for the restorative ability of adoptively transferred cells. These T cells were shown to be long-lived small lymphocytes which are not recently derived from the thymus during adult life. They belong to the pool of T cells which constantly recirculate from blood to lymph as shown by their rapid appearance in the lymph of iradiated syngeneic rats after intravenous injection. Neither B lymphocytes nor antibodies in the circulation or in the graft itself are required for first-set graft rejection.

Abstract
An adoptive transfer system was used to examine the capacity of cellular inocula from rats fully tolerant of Ag-B antigens to transfer tolerance to irradiated recipients. Permanent tolerance in these irradiated recipients involved specific suppression of the regenerating immune response. Cells obtained from tissues rich in recirculating lymphocytes were the most effective suppressors. Highly purified inocula of T cells from tolerant donors were potent suppressors in irradiated hosts, but were not capable of direct suppression of peripheral antigen-sensitive T cells.. The role of the thymus in maintaining the complement of recirculating suppressor T cells in tolerant animals was examined after adult thymectomy. Thymectomized tolerant rats did not reject their tolerated grafts, and the longevity of the suppression in tolerant rats was confirmed by showing that adoptive transfer of cells from thymectomized tolerant donors was effective in suppressing irradiated recipients up to 180 days after thymectomy. Cellular inocula from these donors appeared to lose their suppressor function marginally faster than they lost effector function (as measured by their capacity to mediate rejection of third party control grafts). Thymectomy made tolerant rats more vulnerable to the termination of tolerance by challenge with normal cells. Transplantation tolerance is maintained in adult rats by long-lived rapidly recirculating suppressor T cells. The target for the suppressor action of these cells is probably the precursor of alloantigen-sensitive lymphocytes, and the effect of suppression may be deletion or inactivation of the relevant clone of these cells.

Abstract
The kinetics of the popliteal lymph node response to an allograft of lymphoid cells injected into the foot pad were examined after challenge with strong (Ag-B) and weak (non Ag-B) transplantation antigens. The response to weak antigens was characterised by a lag period of 2 days. The response to strong antigens was more rapid in onset. Active immunisation against weak antigens accelerated the response so that it came to resemble the immediate response to strong antigens. Active immunisation against strong antigens depressed the response. This depression was reproduced by giving passive antiserum to normal recipients. Passive antiserum produced by immunisation against weak antigens was also suppressive. Adoptive transfer of immune lymphoid cells reproduced the effects seen with passive transfer of antiserum. These findings indicate that clonal expansion of antigen-sensitive cells is characteristic of immunity to weak and not to strong antigens and that antibody is produced in both situations and has a similar suppressive effect on the cell-mediated response in addition to its direct effect on the graft.

Abstract
A new transplantable lymphocytic leukaemia of the inbred Hooded Oxford strain of rat is described. Fewer than 10 cells will transfer to syngeneic recipients. Leukaemic cells bear the surface markers of thymus-derived (T) cells and recirculate from blood to lymph. In contrast to the usual thymic lymphomas of rodents the pathophysiology of the disease bears a close resemblance to human acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
