Background. Regulatory cells prevent graft loss to acute rejection and induce tolerance, possibly by promoting Th2 deviation. Th2 cytokines stimulate B cells, which cause alloantibody-mediated chronic rejection. We searched to determine whether regulatory cell-mediated tolerance protects or not against chronic rejection.Methods. Heart transplantation (Htx) was performed using RA (RT1(P)) and PVG (RT1(c)) rats as donor and recipients. Donor-specific blood transfusion (DSBT) was given on preTx day 12. Secondary grafts were implanted at day 100. Splenocytes were transferred from tolerant rats (and controls) into lightly irradiated (450 rad) naive PVG, which received RA Htx. Primary Htx were investigated for the development of vascular occlusion (VO), the production of Th1/Th2, intragraft cytokines, and for the nature of graft infiltrate as well as for endothelial deposition of immunoglobulin (Ig)G isotypes and complement (C3) binding.Results were compared with rejecting controls (no DSBT) and syngeneic Htx. Results. RA Htx were rejected within 10 days (8, 9, 10x4). PreTx DSBT prolonged primary Htx survival indefinitely (>140 days) with acceptance of secondary donor-specific (but not third-party) grafts (P
