Long-term surviving (100-120 days) renal allografts were retransplanted to fresh recipients syngeneic with the original host in 3 donor-recipient combinations: DA to LEW, (DA .times. LEW)F1 to LEW and (DA .times. LEW)F1 to DA. The results were markedly different in the 3 combinations. Long-term surviving grafts in the DA to LEW model were rejected as vigorously as fresh grafts. In the F1 to DA model they survived indefinitely without any impairment of graft function at any stage. In the F1 to LEW models most grafts underwent acute rejection but most recovered to survive for prolonged periods with impaired graft function. Long-term surviving grafts in the DA to LEW and F1 to LEW models were almost completely unable to induce lymphocytotoxin responses in marked contrast to the strong responses seen with the use of fresh kidney grafts. The mechanism of graft adaptation was examined in 3 ways. Quantitative absorption analysis on each of 6 long-term surviving DA and 4 long-term surviving F1 kidneys from LEW hosts showed that the amount of incompatible RT-1B (Ia) antigens was normal whereas the amount of incompatible RT-1A (SD) antigen was increased by a factor of 3. These results excluded antigen modulation and antigen masking as the mechanism of adaptation. The possibility that graft endothelium is replaced by host endothelium was excluded by showing that long-term surviving DA kidney grafts could be hyperacutely rejected by injecting alloantisera and complement. Attempts to replace passenger leukocytes by injecting donor blood at the time of grafting were not successful.
