Table 3.

A summary of experiments in which the indicated recipient mice were injected intravenously with FITC-labeled spleen cells or purified CD4+ cells from the indicated donor mice

Donor cells Recipient % donor cells No. of mice
Spleen Lymph node
DBA/2 CD4+ C57BL/6  0.02 ± 0.02  0.04 ± 0.05 4  
C57BL/6 CD4+ DBA/2  0.03 ± 0.03 0.08 ± 0.05  3  
C57BL/6 CD4+ C57BL/6 1.35 ± 0.26  2.63 ± 0.35  2  
C57BL/6  C57BL/6 1.49 ± 0.25  2.28 ± 0.13  
Donor cells Recipient % donor cells No. of mice
Spleen Lymph node
DBA/2 CD4+ C57BL/6  0.02 ± 0.02  0.04 ± 0.05 4  
C57BL/6 CD4+ DBA/2  0.03 ± 0.03 0.08 ± 0.05  3

The purified CD4+ cells contained 84% to 88% CD4+ cells and 13 to 25 × 106 cells were injected per recipient. Elimination of allogeneic donor CD4+ cells was significantly greater (P < .05) than elimination of syngeneic donor cells.
