  • REACTIVITY OF HUMAN PERIPHERAL BLOOD LYMPHOCYTE TO α Gal ON PORCINE AROTIC ENDOTHELIAL CELL

    After escaping from the hyperacute rejection (HAR), the xenograft has to be faced the challenge of acute vascular, acute cellular and even chronic rejection. Endothelial cells have been confirmed as a kind of antigen processing cell (APC) in allo-rejection. The porcine aortic endothelial cell (PAEC) expressed SLA-II and B7 which are the characteristics of professional APC. PAEC also has plenty of alpha-Gal residues, whether the antigen play any role in the post-HAR is still unknown. Human and porcine peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBLC) were isolated and divided into two parts, one for the effectors and the another were incubated with mitomycin C (MMC) as stimulators. The two kinds of PBLC were mixed-cultured within five days. Cultured PAEC from NJZ Pig was incubated with MMC and divided into two: One digested with alpha-galactosidase. The two kinds of PAEC were taken as stimulators to mixed-culture with human PBLC for five days. All the proliferation was detected with 3H-TdR intermingled in the system. The results showed that allo-MLR was ber than xeno-MLR in the cases. The proliferation was much ber when PAEC was used as the stimulator than that of porcine PBLC. However, the response was remarkably decreased after the digestion of alpha-Gal with alpha-galactosidase. The conclusion was that the low response of porcine-to-human MLR in vitro might be related to the predominant indirect pathway of antigen recognition in this system. While PAEC was used as the stimulator the proliferation in MLR was ber which might be concerned that PAEC itself was an APC as well as xeno-antigen sources, thus the direct pathway was predominant and worked more efficiently. The alpha-Gal might induce T cell proliferation through the linkage with the biological big molecules working as a complete antigen. The other post-HAR antigen might also exist in PAEC such as SLA-II, etc.
