Infusion of donor bone marrow cells (DBMC), a long-standing, successful strategy for inducing tolerance in experimental rodent transplantation models, can promote long-term acceptance of life-sustaining renal allografts in rhesus monkeys with no maintenance immunosuppression. To investigate the immunological basis for heterogeneity in duration of long-term graft acceptance following infusion of the DR-/dim fraction of DBMC into RATG-treated rhesus monkeys, we examined the relationship of recipient-donor major histo-compatibility class I and II DR matching to the development of antidonor antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and renal allograft survival. The findings indicate a requirement for sharing one DR allele to achieve long-term graft acceptance. The observed immunological consequence of DR sharing that correlated with functional graft tolerance in this model was the suppression of early antidonor ADCC+ IgG antibody responses. Significant associations were observed between graft survival and suppression of ADCC antibody (P < 0.0005), graft survival and DR sharing (P < 0.005), and DR sharing and suppression of ADCC (P < 0.02). Early antidonor ADCC antibody responses associated with failure to maintain graft tolerance and were most consistently directed to donor class I. The required one DR antigen sharing in DBMC-induced suppression of antidonor class I antibody suggests a restriction for recipient DR, implying critical regulation of a response to donor antigen presented on recipient cells. We hypothesize a DBMC tolerogenic mechanism in which presentation of donor class I peptide by a shared DR allele configuration allows a veto effect by DBMC. Thus DR sharing would allow DBMC veto cells to reduce clonal expansion elicited by both the direct and indirect antigen presentation pathways.
