THE IMPORTANCE OF NONIMMUNE FACTORS IN RECONSTITUTION BY DISCORDANT XENOGENEIC HEMATOPOIETIC CELLS1,2

Bone marrow transplantation has been shown to induce donor-specific tolerance in rodent models. This approach could potentially be applied to xenotrans- plantation across discordant species barriers. To evaluate host factors resisting hematopoietic cell engraftment, we have developed two model systems utilizing the combination of swine into severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. SCID mice lack functional B and T lymphocytes, and can therefore be used to evaluate nonimmune factors resisting marrow en-graftment, and for adoptive transfer studies to test the role of immune cells and antibodies. First we transplanted swine bone marrow cells into SCID mice conditioned with whole-body irradiation (4 Gy). For nine weeks following the intravenous administration of 108 swine bone marrow cells, up to 3.8% of peripheral blood leukocytes were of swine origin, as determined by flow cytometry (FCM). These cells were all of the myeloid lineage. Swine IgG was also detectable in the serum for up to 14 weeks. The bone marrow of the reconstituted mice contained low percentages of swine myeloid cells, and swine myeloid progenitors
