Inhibition of hybrid resistance to lymphomas by inactivated tumor cells in lethally irradiated mice

Journal Article · · Transplantation; (United States)
Two murine lymphomas, L5MF-22 of B10.129(5M) (H-2/sup b/) origin and P388 of DBA/2 (H-2/sup d/) origin, were inoculated into lethally irradiated hybrid (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F/sub 1/ (B6D2F/sub 1/) mice (H-2/sup b//H-2/sup d/). Marked localized graft resistance was found in the spleen and occasionally in the liver of recipient mice as a result of a non-T-dependent hybrid resistance (HR). Significant reduction of HR of B6D2F/sub 1/ mice could be obtained when viable lymphoma cells were inoculated along with inactivated cells of the same tumor or of genetically related leukemias. These results suggest that in vivo competition for HR effectors can take place in mouse spleen and liver leading to a depression of the localized resistance.
