To improve the engraftment of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) to severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice, and to elucidate the factors which prevent the PBL's survival, we treated SCID mice with mAb, which neutralizes murine IFN-gamma's ability to activate cell-mediated immunity. Compared with untreated mice, mAb-treated mice retained significantly higher numbers and ratios of human PBL in the peritoneal cavity and spleen, as well as significantly higher serum titers of human IgG and IgM. Histologically, host versus graft reaction (HVGR) was less severe in the mAb-treated mice. Moreover, these phenomena were completely abrogated when mice were also treated with murine recombinant IFN-gamma. These results suggest that murine IFN-gamma plays an important role in the rejection of human cells in SCID mice and that its depletion by means of mAb treatment can significantly reduce HVGR and improve the engraftment of human PBL.

D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D008221 Lymphoid Tissue Specialized tissues that are components of the lymphatic system. They provide fixed locations within the body where a variety of LYMPHOCYTES can form, mature and multiply. The lymphoid tissues are connected by a network of LYMPHATIC VESSELS. Lymphatic Tissue,Lymphatic Tissues,Lymphoid Tissues,Tissue, Lymphatic,Tissue, Lymphoid,Tissues, Lymphatic,Tissues, Lymphoid
D010537 Peritoneum A membrane of squamous EPITHELIAL CELLS, the mesothelial cells, covered by apical MICROVILLI that allow rapid absorption of fluid and particles in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. The peritoneum is divided into parietal and visceral components. The parietal peritoneum covers the inside of the ABDOMINAL WALL. The visceral peritoneum covers the intraperitoneal organs. The double-layered peritoneum forms the MESENTERY that suspends these organs from the abdominal wall.

D006082 Graft Enhancement, Immunologic The induction of prolonged survival and growth of allografts of either tumors or normal tissues which would ordinarily be rejected. It may be induced passively by introducing graft-specific antibodies from previously immunized donors, which bind to the graft's surface antigens, masking them from recognition by T-cells; or actively by prior immunization of the recipient with graft antigens which evoke specific antibodies and form antigen-antibody complexes which bind to the antigen receptor sites of the T-cells and block their cytotoxic activity.
