Human NK cell-mediated direct and IgG-dependent cytotoxicity against xenogeneic porcine endothelial cells

Abstract

Once hyperacute rejection has been prevented, the pig-to-human xenograft might be exposed to vascular cell-mediated rejection directed against vascular structures. In order to evaluate the relative importance of direct and antibody-dependent anti-endothelial cell-mediated cytotoxicity in different individuals, freshly isolated human blood leukocytes were incubated with confluent porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAEC) in a 4 h Cr-release cytotoxicity assay. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and lymphocytes (PBL) of all subjects tested (but not monocytes or neutrophils) directly killed PAEC, with wide interindividual variations (from 2.8% to 32%). The addition of heat-inactivated autologous serum to PBMC and PBL (but not to myeloid cells) always enhanced cytotoxicity. This antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) was also observed in the presence of adult pooled serum and cord blood pooled serum and was eliminated after adsorption of adult pooled serum to insoluble protein A, demonstrating that IgG is the only class of immunoglobulin involved in this phenomenon. Moreover, blocking Fc gamma RIII with an anti-CD16 mAb eliminated ADCC without affecting direct cytotoxicity. When the ADCC exerted by the PBL of all...Continue Reading

Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity

Antibody-dependent cellular toxicity refers to the lysis of a target cell by a non-sensitized effector cell of the immune system as a result of antibodies binding to the target cell membrane and engaging the Fc receptors on the immune effector cells.
