Previous studies indicate that acute CD4 T-cell-mediated cardiac allograft rejection requires donor MHC class II expression and can be independent of ‘indirect’ antigen presentation. However, other studies suggest that indirect antigen presentation to CD4 T-cells may play a primary role in cellular xenograft immunity. Thus, the relative roles of direct/indirect CD4 T-cell reactivity against cardiac xenografts is unclear. We set out to determine the role for indirect CD4 T-cell reactivity in cardiac xenograft rejection. Rat hearts were transplanted heterotopically into wild-type and immuno-deficient mice. Recipients were untreated, treated with depleting antibodies or reconstituted with wild-type cells. Antibody depletion confirmed that rat heart xenograft rejection in C57Bl/6 mice was CD4 T-cell-dependent. Also, heart xenografts survived long-term in B6 MHC class II (C2D) deficient mice. Graft acceptance in C2D mice was not secondary to CD4 T-cell deficiency alone, because transferred B6 CD4 T-cells failed to trigger rejection in C2D hosts. Furthermore, purified CD4 T-cells were sufficient for acute rejection of rat heart xenografts in immune-deficient B6rag1−/− recipients. Importantly, CD4 T-cells did not reject rat hearts in C2Drag1−/− hosts, contrasting results using cardiac allografts. ‘Direct’ xenoreactive CD4 T-cells were not sufficient to mediate rejection despite vigorous reactivity to rat stimulator cells in vitro. Taken together, results show that CD4 T-cells are both necessary and sufficient for acute cardiac xenograft rejection and host MHC class II is critical in this process.
