Mouse orthotopic liver allografts are spontaneously accepted without immunosuppression in many strain combinations including those crossing major and minor histoincompatibility barriers. Liver allograft acceptance, moreover, leads to donor-specific acceptance of subsequent skin or heart allografts. Although the precise mechanisms of liver graft tolerance (LGT) are not completely understood, LGT has been attributed to: (1) donor nonparenchymal cell (NPC) migration leading to subsequent recipient/donor hematolymphoid chirnerism1,2; and (2) hepatocyte (HC) release of soluble MHC molecules.3 We have used an experimental model, similar in principle to that of Rapaport et al,4 and used previously by Sriwatanawongsa et al5 to test whether the NPC or HC was the more important component in LGT by constructing chimeric donor livers whose NPC have been replaced by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT).
