Donor-lymphocyte infusion (DLI) before transplantation can lead to
specific tolerance to allografts in mice, nonhuman primates, and
humans. We and others have demonstrated a role for regulatory T
cells in DLI-induced, donor-specific transplantation tolerance, but it
is not known how regulatory T cells are activated and where they
execute their function. In this study, we observed, in both transgenic
and normal mice, that DLI before transplantation is required for
activation of  -T-cell-receptor-positive,
CD3+CD4 CD8 double-negative (DN)
regulatory T cells in the periphery of recipient mice. More
interestingly, DLI induced DN regulatory T cells to migrate
preferentially to donor-specific allogeneic skin grafts and to form a
majority of graft-infiltrating T cells in accepted skin allografts.
Furthermore, both recipient-derived peripheral and graft-infiltrating
DN T cells were able to suppress and kill antidonor CD8+ T
cells in an antigen-specific manner. These data indicate that DLI may
induce donor-specific transplantation tolerance by activating recipient
DN regulatory T cells in the periphery and by promoting migration of
regulatory T cells to donor-specific allogeneic skin grafts. Our
results also show that DN regulatory T cells can eliminate antidonor T
cells both systemically and locally, a finding suggesting that
graft-infiltrating T cells can be beneficial to graft survival.
