Direct evidence that cytokines with chemoattractant properties for leukocytes, chemokines, recruit alloantigen-primed T cells into transplanted allografts has been lacking. We present evidence that neutralization of a single chemokine inhibits T cell infiltration into class II MHC-disparate murine allografts and acute rejection. The chemokines IFN-gamma-inducible protein-10 and monokine induced by IFN-gamma (Mig) are expressed in allogeneic skin grafts during the late stages of acute rejection. Survival of class II MHC-disparate B6.H-2bm12 allografts is prolonged from day 14 to day 55 posttransplant when C57BL/6 recipients are given a short course treatment with an antiserum to Mig. This treatment also inhibits T cell and macrophage infiltration into the allografts. B6.H-2bm12 allografts are also not rejected by IFN-gamma-/- C57BL/6 recipients. Injection of Mig directly into B6.H-2bm12 grafts on IFN-gamma-deficient recipients restores T cell infiltration and rejection. Therefore, the inability of IFN-gamma-deficient recipients to reject the class II MHC-disparate allografts is due to the lack of intraallograft Mig production and alloantigen-primed T cell recruitment to the graft. These results indicate for the first time the potential utility of chemokine neutralization strategies in preventing T cell infiltration into allografts and abrogating acute rejection.
