March1 is required for dampened alloreactivity induced by DnaK. Skin allografts from WT or March1−/− mice (both H-2Kb/I-Ab) were treated with DnaK or control and transplanted into BALB/c (H-2Kd/I-Ad) recipients. a Gating strategy for tracking donor MHC II (I-Ab) in cross-dressed host CD103+ DCs. b Donor MHC II (I-Ab) and c CD86 levels in cross-dressed host CD103+ DCs graft dLN at day 1 and 4 post-transplant. d Percent of allograft survival. Statistics using log-rank test (n = 5/group). e Numbers of CD4+Ki67+ and CD8+Ki67+ T cells, and f CD4+ and CD8+ TEM cells from allograft dLNs harvested at day 1 and 4 post-transplant. Statistics using ANOVA with Tukey post-test. n = 3 mice per group. Bar graphs represent the mean ± S.D. g WT or March1−/− BMDCs were treated with DnaK for 24 h, irradiated and cultured with allogeneic T cells for 24 h in mouse IFN-γ-coated plates. IFN-γ production by T cells was measured by ELISPOT. Numbers of spots per million T cells ± S.D. in triplicates. Statistics using ANOVA with Tukey post-test. Representative results of at least two independent experiments
