Deficiency of C5aR prolongs renal allograft survival.
Interaction between C5a, a product of complement activation, and its receptor (C5aR) upregulates antigen-specific T cell responses by modulating the activation of antigen-presenting cells and T cells. Whether this C5a-C5aR interaction contributes to the immune responses that promote renal allograft rejection is unknown. Here, we found that deficiency of C5aR in both graft and recipient reduced ...
متن کاملModulation of LIGHT-HVEM Costimulation Prolongs Cardiac Allograft Survival
LIGHT (TNFSF14), a tumor necrosis factor superfamily member expressed by activated T cells, binds to herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) which is constitutively expressed by T cells and costimulates T cell activation in a CD28-independent manner. Given interest in regulating the effector functions of T cells in vivo, we examined the role of LIGHT-HVEM costimulation in a murine cardiac allograft ...
متن کاملDeletion of the chemokine receptor CCR1 prolongs corneal allograft survival.
PURPOSE Many corneal grafts undergo immune rejection, and current therapies are associated with many side effects. The purpose of this study was to identify critical chemokine pathways involved in generating the alloimmune response to corneal transplants. METHODS Orthotopic corneal transplantation was performed in fully mismatched strains. Cytokine and chemokine receptor gene expression was d...
متن کاملCTLA4Ig gene transfer prolongs survival and induces donor-specific tolerance in a rat renal allograft.
Organ transplantation requires lifelong antirejection therapy, which carries the risk of infection and cancer. A revolutionary approach is to transduce the organ graft with immunomodulatory genes to render them tolerated with no need of systemic immunosuppression. Prolonged allograft survival was achieved by adenovirus-mediated transduction of the cold-preserved kidney with sequences encoding C...
متن کاملIndoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase gene transfer prolongs cardiac allograft survival.
Cells that express indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), the rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of tryptophan, suppress T cell responses and promote immunological tolerance. However, their role in solid organ transplantation is incompletely understood. We analyzed T cell responses to allogeneic dendritic cells (DCs) genetically modified to express the gene encoding IDO in vitro and IDO gene tr...
