Alloreactive memory T cells mediate accelerated allograft rejection and transplant tolerance resistance. Recent studies have shown that B cell deficient–µMT mice fail to mount donor-specific memory T cell responses after transplantation. At the same time, other studies showed that pretransplant B cell depletion using rituximab (IgG1 anti-CD20 mAb) combined with cyclosporine A promoted the survival of islet allografts in monkeys. In this study, we investigated the effect of anti-CD20 antibody-mediated B cell depletion on the memory T cell alloresponse in mice. Wild-type and anti-OVA TCR transgenic mice were treated with an IgG2a anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, which depleted nearly all B cells in the peripheral blood and secondary lymphoid organs but spared some B cells in the bone marrow. B cell depletion did not affect the direct alloresponse but resulted in a marked increase of indirect alloresponse after skin transplantation of naïve mice. Furthermore, in allosensitized mice, anti-CD20 mAb treatment enhanced the reactivation of allospecific memory T cells and accelerated second set rejection of skin allografts. This suggests that the effect of anti-CD20 antibodies on alloimmunity and allograft rejection might vary upon the nature of the antibodies as well as the circumstances under which they are delivered.
