Abstract excerpt
PVG-rnu/rnu nude rats reject a fully allogeneic DA renal allograft after the adoptive transfer of naive CD4+ T cells alone, but rejection is accompanied by the accumulation of many CD8+ leukocytes within the graft. In order to clearly establish the provenance of these CD8+ cells infiltrating rejecting kidney allografts, nude recipients (PVG-RT7a) were injected with CD4+ T cells from the PVG-RT7b congenic strain...
