Skin allograft survival and immune responses against allogeneic antigens homologous to skin grafts were observed in BALB/c Cr Slc (BALB) mice (H-2d) thymectomized at 1 day after birth and grafted with skin from major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-incompatible, fully allogeneic C3H/HeN (C3H) (H-2k) or MHC-compatible allogeneic DBA/2 Cr Slc (DBA) mice (H-2d), at 14 weeks of age. In neonatally thymectomized (NTx) BALB mice, survival of C3H skin grafts was not prolonged at all, but survival of DBA skin grafts was prolonged significantly, although the survival periods of DBA skin grafts were very different among individual recipients. In NTx recipients grafted with C3H skin, delayed foot-pad reaction (DFR) was not reduced, but cytotoxic lymphocyte (CTL) activity and cytotoxic antibody (CTAb) production were appreciably depressed. CTL and CTAb were reduced profoundly and consistently in all NTx mice grafted with DBA skin, while DFR was reduced to various degrees in each. The degrees of depression of DFR in these NTx mice correlated well with the prolongation of DBA skin survival, although the sample number was small. The rejection of skin allografts appears to be attributable largely to a T cell subset, the function of which can be expressed as DFR. Thymus dependency in the ontogenic development is low as compared with other T cell subsets.
