IMMUNOHISTOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS OF RAT FETAL PANCREAS ALLOGRAFTS TRANSPLANTED INTO UNMODIFIED AND CYCLOSPORINE‐TREATED RECIPIENTS

Administration of CsA (15 mg/kg/day) prolonged the survival of DA (RT1a) rat fetal pancreas transplanted to the renal subcapular site of both PVG (RT1c) and Lewis (RT1(1] recipients. Sections of fetal pancreas examined 40 days after transplantation into allogeneic CsA-treated recipients showed growth and development of the fetal pancreas tissue, and the presence of numerous insulin-containing islets. CsA treatment prevented the induction of MHC antigen within allografts. Whereas at day 4, both rejecting and CsA treated grafts showed donor class I MHC expression on duct epithelium and islet cells, only rejecting grafts displayed class I MHC induction on acinar cells. Rejecting grafts showed strong induction of class II MHC antigen expression on duct epithelium from day 4 onward but this was completely prevented by CsA treatment. Islet cells in both rejecting and CsA treated allografts remained class II-negative throughout. CsA also resulted in a reduction in the day 6 cellular infiltrate of allografts (median area leukocyte infiltrate reduced from 43% to 10%) with a marked decrease in the number of MRC OX-8-positive cells. These results show a favorable effect of CsA on rat fetal pancreas allografts with a reduction in MHC antigen expression within the graft and prolonged survival of insulin-rich endocrine tissue.
