The effect of total-body irradiation of the donor on hepatic allograft survival was studied in the rat, with ACI(RT1a) as the donor and LEW(RT1(1)) as the recipient. LEW recipients of ACI liver transplants experienced severe acute rejection, with a mean survival of only 10.2 +/- 0.3 days. The doses of irradiation were 450, 750, and 1000 rads administered 24 hr prior to harvesting or subsequent transplantation. TBI with a dose of 750 rads significantly prolonged the survival of the hepatic allograft to 30.3 +/- 1.7 days, without concomitant immunosuppression. However, neither 450 rads nor 1000 rads of TBI resulted in successful suppression of graft rejection. TBI appeared to have a beneficial effect on hepatic allograft survival and to have no deleterious effect on isograft survival, suggesting a possible modulation of the immunogenicity of the donor organ. Although the cause of this beneficial effect is not clear, TBI with a dose of 750 rads 24 hr prior to organ harvest seems to be optimal to eliminate-antigen presenting cells in the donor organs.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
