Immunological mechanism of the cellular mediated xenograft rejection in the rat free fetal bowel to mouse transplantation
Objective:To observe immunological mechanism of CMXR in the rat free fetal bowel transplant to mouse.Methods:Two groups were established including allogroup and xenogroup.Pathological changes of grafts in each group were examined.Expression of TH type cytokines mRNA and phenotypes of infiltrating cells intragraft were detected by in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunohistochemistry methods respectively.Results:(1)Survival rates of allogroup transplants were higher than those of xenogroup( P <0.01).(2)Rejection of xenografts in this model is CMXR.(3)The main infiltrating cells were CD4 +T cells and ED2 +MΦ in xenografts.Expression of mRNA for Th2 type cytokines:IL-4
IL-5
and IL-10 was higher than that for Th1 type cytokine IFN-γ in xenografts.( P <0.01)Conclusion:These results suggest that:(1)CMXR is much stronger than allograft rejection
in which CD4 +T cells and ED2 +MΦ are the major infiltrating cells and the Th2 type cytokines are higher in xenografts that those of in allografts.(2)The model of rat free fetal bowel to mouse transplantation is able to study on CMXR and is easy to operate.
