Hepatic granulomas of euthymic (nu/+) mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni were freeze-dried or freeze-thawed 3 times and transplanted subcutaneously into naive nu/+ and athymic (nu/nu) mice. The grafted sites, studied histologically, showed formation of organized granulomas in nu/+ mice similar to donor granulomas as observed after grafting of freshly isolated granulomas. On the other hand, in nu/nu mice, the nonviable transplants elicited small and disorganized granulomas, like hepatic granulomas in nu/nu mice with schistosomiasis, but different from fresh nu/+ transplants in nu/nu skin. The findings indicate viable cells are not required for transfer of granulomatous reactions, but T cells are needed for full expression.
