Blockade of NKG2D Synergized With CTLA4-Ig in Promoting Long-Term Graft Survival in Murine Models of Cardiac Transplantation
Blockade of B7-CD28 interaction with CTLA4-Ig could prolong allograft survival in cardiac transplantation. NKG2D is an activating or coactivating receptor on NK cells, γδ T, and CD8 T cells and played an important role in transplant immunity. C57BL/6 (wild type and γδ or interleukin (IL)-17) mice we...

Zusammenfassung: | Blockade of B7-CD28 interaction with CTLA4-Ig could prolong allograft survival in cardiac transplantation. NKG2D is an activating or coactivating receptor on NK cells, γδ T, and CD8 T cells and played an important role in transplant immunity.
C57BL/6 (wild type and γδ or interleukin (IL)-17) mice were transplanted with allogeneic BALB/c hearts and treated with CTLA4-Ig alone or in combination with anti-NKG2D monoclonal antibodies. The survival of grafts was monitored daily by abdominal palpation until the complete cessation of cardiac contractility.
We found that wild type recipient treated with anti-NKG2D monoclonal antibodies plus CTLA4-Ig showed significantly prolonged survival cardiac allograft (>90 days, P |
