IFN-{gamma} Is Critical for Long-Term Allograft Survival Induced by Blocking the CD28 and CD40 Ligand T Cell Costimulation Pathways1

It is postulated that IFN-{gamma} production hinders long-term acceptance of transplanted organs. To test this hypothesis, we compared survival of skin and heart allografts in wild-type (IFN-{gamma}+/+) mice to that in IFN-{gamma} gene knockout (IFN-{gamma}-/-) mice. We found that perioperative blockade of the CD28 and/or CD40 ligand T cell costimulation pathways induces long-term skin and heart allograft survival in IFN-{gamma}+/+ recipients but fails to do so in IFN-{gamma}-/- mice or in wild-type mice treated with IFN-{gamma}-neutralizing Ab at the time of transplantation. In vitro studies showed that endogenously produced IFN-{gamma} down-regulates T cell proliferation and CTL generation in MLCs. These actions of IFN-{gamma} were not mediated by TNF-{alpha} production or Fas-Fas ligand interactions. In vivo studies revealed exaggerated expansion and, subsequently, impaired deletion of superantigen-reactive T lymphocytes in IFN-{gamma}-/- mice injected with staphylococcal enterotoxin B. Taken together, our findings indicate that IFN-{gamma} does not hinder but instead facilitates induction of long-term allograft survival possibly by limiting expansion of activated T cells.
