Liver allografts in many animal models are often spontaneously accepted across a complete histocompatibility barrier without requirement for immunosuppression. In contrast, skin allografts are usually rejected, even across minor histocompatibility barriers. To identify the mechanism of liver allograft acceptance we have compared skin rejection with liver acceptance in DA rat strain recipients of PVG donors, a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I plus II mismatch. In spite of the established role of draining lymph nodes (LN) in induction of rejection of skin allografts, there was much greater involvement of LN after liver than after skin transplantation. Few donor cells migrated to these organs from transplanted skin but many cells migrated from transplanted liver. There was also a paradoxical increase in interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) mRNA in LN and spleen of liver allograft recipients that greatly exceeded their expression in skin allograft recipients. For example, there were 2. 7+/-1.6x104 molecules of IFN-gamma per 106 molecules of beta-actin mRNA in the LN draining liver allografts 1 day after transplantation compared with 2.0+/-0.3x103 molecules/106 beta-actin in LN draining skin allografts and 8.1+/-1.8x102 molecules/106 beta-actin in LN draining skin isografts. Examination of the graft showed that infiltration and cytokine mRNA up-regulation occurred more slowly in the transplanted skin than in liver but progressed inexorably in skin grafts until rejection. These results show that liver acceptance is associated with a paradoxical marked early activation then subsequent decline of the immune response.
