It is well known that induction of immunotolerance with allogeneic skin transplantation is generally difficult. This study attempted to find an immunosuppressive protocol for skin allograft rejection involving interleukin-16 (IL-16) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), because both are known to inhibit mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). The data indicated that IL-16 enhanced the immunosuppressive effect of IL-10. IL-16-cDNA- and IL-10-cDNA-double-transfected squamous cell carcinoma cell line were used as an in vitro model and they produced more than 20 ng/ml of IL-16 and 100 pg/ml of IL-10 in the supernatant, which significantly inhibited MLR and also the activation of allogeneic lymphocytes, which were stimulated directly by allogeneic double-cDNA-transfectant cells. Thus allogeneic skin graft producing IL-16 and IL-10 might have a local immunosuppressive action that could prolong graft survival.
