Genetics of kidney allograft survival in dogs. I. Relevance of subregions of the major histocompatibility complex in recipients without immunosuppressive therapy. 1979

A B Bijnen, and D L Westbroek, and H Obertop, and H M Vriesendorp

The influence of subregions of the canine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on renal allograft survival is assessed in recipients without immunosuppressive therapy. Results in six beagle littermate donor-recipient pairs in which the donor or recipient had a recombination in the MHC are compatible with the concept of a predominant role for the subregion containing the major mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) locus in determining allograft survival. Results in unrelated mongrel dogs indicate that compatibility for MLR induces a longer kidney allograft survival than compatibility for the serologically defined (SD) antigens. However, the effect of combined matching for MLR and SD antigens in unrelated donor-recipient pairs is slight in comparison to the effect of MLR and/or SD matching in littermate-related dogs. This indicates that other important histocompatibility systems probably exist in this species.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007167 Immunotherapy Manipulation of the host's immune system in treatment of disease. It includes both active and passive immunization as well as immunosuppressive therapy to prevent graft rejection. Immunotherapies
D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

D008285 Major Histocompatibility Complex The genetic region which contains the loci of genes which determine the structure of the serologically defined (SD) and lymphocyte-defined (LD) TRANSPLANTATION ANTIGENS, genes which control the structure of the IMMUNE RESPONSE-ASSOCIATED ANTIGENS, HUMAN; the IMMUNE RESPONSE GENES which control the ability of an animal to respond immunologically to antigenic stimuli, and genes which determine the structure and/or level of the first four components of complement.

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D006085 Graft Survival The survival of a graft in a host, the factors responsible for the survival and the changes occurring within the graft during growth in the host. Graft Survivals,Survival, Graft,Survivals, Graft
D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.
