The alloantibody response in the allogeneically pregnant rat. II. Primary pregnancy-induced anti-RT1Aa alloantibodies are not as cross-reactive as secondary pregnancy-induced or conventionally raised alloantibodies. 1982

R N Smith, and R T Margolias, and M Sternlicht

We compared the cross-reactive pattern of alloantibodies from conventional anti-DA alloimmunizations with anti-RT1Aa alloantibodies brought about by secondary and primary pregnancy-induced alloimmunizations caused by pregnancies by DA males. As expected, conventional alloimmunization produces alloantibodies that are cross-reactive; secondary pregnancy-induced anti-RT1Aa alloantibodies induced by pregnancies by DA males in females previously immunized against DA were as cross-reactive as conventionally raised antibodies. But primary pregnancy-induced anti-RI1Aa alloantibodies brought about by DA pregnancies in unimmunized females were not as cross-reactive as alloantibodies from conventional or secondary pregnancy-induced alloimmunizations. The cross-reactive pattern of the alloantibodies from primary pregnancy-induced alloimmunizations was distinctive for each of the three responding strains, but the cross-reactive pattern observed for a particular strain was not uniformly seen in all the responding females of that strain. One such pattern between two congenic strains defines an Ir gene between two RT1 phenotypes that are known to be high responders to RT1Aa.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D006649 Histocompatibility Antigens A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.
