Recently, we have demonstrated characteristic hepatic lesions resembling primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) in semiallogeneic F1 hybrid mice with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-disparate graft-versus-host reaction (GVHR). In the present study, we tried to reveal other ductal lesions in extrahepatic organs, including salivary glands and pancreas. Murine strains used are C57BL/6 (B6), B6 mutant bm1, and bm12. bm1 carries a mutant gene at the H-2K locus of MHC and bm12 carries a mutant gene at the I-A locus of MHC of the B6 strain. The (B6 x bm1)F1, (B6 x bm12)F1, and (bm1 x bm12)F1 mice were injected intravenously with 1 x 10(7) B6 L3T4+ or Lyt-2+ T cells and were sacrificed on the 14th day postinjection for histological examinations. Mononuclear cell infiltration was detected around the ducts of salivary glands only in (B6 x bm12)F1 mice injected with B6 L3T4+ T cells. A moderate to marked level of cell infiltration was demonstrated in pancreas of (B6 x bm12)F1 recipients similar to nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. By immunohistochemical examinations, infiltrating cells were shown to consist not only of L3T4+ but also of Lyt-2+ T cells, even after the inoculation of L3T4+ cells. These results are discussed in reference to mechanisms of organ-specific autoimmune diseases, especially insulitis in NOD mice which show insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
