• These studies demonstrate the presence of an immunosuppressive and cytotoxic factor in the perfusate of ischemic damaged liver. A BDE rat liver perfusate (LP) was prepared after 6 h warm ischemia by intraportal perfusion with 2 ml/g of Ringer's solution (one time-LP1 or five times-LP5 with the same volume of solution). Protein amount of LP1 and LP5 was 0.9 and 2.8-3.9 mg/ml. In vivo activity of the hepatic perfusates was studied by effect on renal allograft survival time. LEW rats with BDE kidney transplant, treated daily with 2 ml of LP1 for 5 days, starting on the day of grafting, survived 8.9 +/- 1.8 days, significantly longer than control animals (6.5 +/- 0.5 days). After administration of LP5 renal recipients survived 10.3 +/- 1.3 days and when the treatment with LP5 was prolonged to 10 days animals survived 9-34 days (mean 15.3 +/- 7.3 days). The presence of the suppressive factor was also studied in renal, spleen and heart extracts, prepared after 6 h warm ischemia. Protein amount of extracts was adjusted to 3-4 mg/ml by Ringer's solution. Immunosuppressive activity of LP and other organ extracts was tested in vitro by their influence on MLC reaction (LEW and BDE lymphocytes) and on LEW cells in the PHA stimulation assay. Lymphocyte blastogenic response on MLC reaction and in culture with PHA was strongly inhibited by LP but weakly by organ extracts. Hepatic perfusates were cytotoxic against lymphocytes and fibroblasts in a three day cultures. Cytotoxic activity of the organ extracts was lower than LP. Extract of the cold preserved kidneys showed immunosuppressive and cytotoxic effect like extract of ischemically injured kidneys but smaller than LP. After heat inactivation at 70 degrees C the activity of hepatic perfusate decreased. Immunosuppressive organ factor (IOF) seems to be a normal cell component, not a decomposition product of the ischemically damaged hepatic tissue.
