Abstract excerpt
Despite several studies examining the contribution of allorecognition pathways to acute and chronic rejection of vascularized murine allografts, little data describing activation of alloreactive T cells by mouse vascular endothelium exist. We have used primary cultures of resting or IFN-gamma-activated C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) vascular endothelial cells as stimulators and CD8(+) T lymphocytes isolated from CBA/J (H-2(k))...
