Abstract
Transfusion with allogeneic cells alone was reported to prolong skin allograft survival in the MHC class I antigen alone-disparate combination of B6.C-H-2bm1 (bm1; Kbm1, IAb, IE-, Db)-->C57BL/6 CrSlc (B6; H-2b). Using 6 class I antigen-disparate and 2 class II antigen-disparate combinations, we compared the effectiveness for skin graft prolongation between transfusion with donor cells (TDC) and our system of CP-induced tolerance, which comprises intravenous (i.v.) injection of allogeneic cells followed by cyclophosphamide (CP), i.e., TDC followed by CP. TDC was effective only in the combination of bm1-->B6, but not at all in the other combinations. On the other hand, CP-induced tolerance was effective in the 5 class I antigen-disparate and 2 class II antigen-disparate combinations except for bm1-->B6 combination. These results suggest that CP-induced tolerance may be more general for the induction of unresponsiveness than TDC.
