The persistence and selection of allogeneic CBA/J T lymphocytes were studied during graft-versus-host (GvH) reaction in immunodeficient C.B-17 SCID (SCID) mice. After neonatal injection the donor cells primarily migrated to the spleen plus lymph nodes (SL) and the thymus of the recipients. Thirteen days post engraftment, CD8+ cells in SL had increased five times in cell number with an 18-fold increase of CD8+ V beta 14+ cells, paralleled by clinical signs of GvH disease (GvHD). Donor lymphocytes from these mice were proliferative unresponsive to allogeneic Balb/c or C57Bl/6 SL cells, whereas 8 weeks post injection the tolerance was confined to H-2d specific donor cells. Here, spleens had a total cell content similar to untreated SCID mice but the average percentage of donor cells had reached 25%. Moreover, the CD4/CD8 cell ratio in the donor population in SL and thymus had changed to normal and the TCR V beta repertoire was similar to that of the originally injected cells. Following secondary transfer into syngeneic CBA/Ca nu/nu recipients donor cells regained a significant but reduced response to H-2d stimulators indicating that the antigen specific tolerance of allogeneic donor cells in the SCID mice was due, at least in part, to a reversible state of anergy.

pubmed:articleTitle
Acute graft-versus-host reaction in SCID mice leads to an abnormal expansion of CD8+ V beta 14+ and a broad inactivation of donor T cells followed by a host-restricted tolerance and a normalization of the TCR V beta repertoire in the chronic phase.
