[Graft vs host reaction in reciprocal combinations of mouse strains differing by the H-2 complex of histocompatibility].
Intraperitoneal transplantation of 0.5 x 10(7), 1 x 10(7) or 2 x 10(7) spleen cells from the C57BL mice to newborn CBA recipients induced an acute form or runt disease which resulted in the death of 43%, 86% or 95% of the recipient mice, respectively, in the course of 2--3 weeks after the cell transfer. Preliminary immunization of C57BL donors with CBA isoantigens led to a marked enhancement, and immunization with foreign antigens (sheep red blood cells)--to weakening the reaction. In reverse combination of mouse strains the runt disease was 4--5 times less severe and no "preimmunization effect" occurred. In C57BL leads to CBA combination the reaction was accompanied by proliferation of pyroninophilic mononuclears and follicular destruction, while in the CBA leads to C57BL combination-by the retardation of their growth.
