Mechanisms of immunotherapeutic intervention by anti-CD40L (CD154) antibody in an animal model of multiple sclerosis.
Relapsing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (R-EAE) in the SJL mouse is a Th1-mediated autoimmune demyelinating disease model for human multiple sclerosis and is characterized by infiltration of the central nervous system (CNS) by Th1 cells and macrophages. Disease relapses are mediated by T cells specific for endogenous myelin epitopes released during acute disease, reflecting a critic...
متن کاملCritical role of CD4 help in CD154 blockade-resistant memory CD8 T cell activation and allograft rejection in sensitized recipients.
Allograft rejection in sensitized recipients remains the major problem in clinical organ transplantation. We have developed a donor-type skin-sensitized mouse cardiac allograft model (BALB/c-->C57BL/6) in which both rejection (<5 days) and alloreactive CD8 activation are resistant to CD154 blockade. First, we attempted to elucidate why CD154 blockade fails to protect cardiac grafts in sensitize...
متن کاملIslet allograft rejection in nonobese diabetic mice involves the common gamma-chain and CD28/CD154-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
Once nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice become diabetic, they are highly resistant to islet transplantation. The precise mechanism of such resistance remains largely unknown. In the present study we tested the hypothesis that islet allograft survival in the diabetic NOD mouse is determined by the interplay of diverse islet-specific T cell subsets whose activation is regulated by CD28/CD154 costimulat...
متن کاملActivation of alloreactive CD8+ T cells operates via CD4-dependent and CD4-independent mechanisms and is CD154 blockade sensitive.
CD154, one of the most extensively studied T cell costimulation molecules, represents a promising therapeutic target in organ transplantation. However, the immunological mechanisms of CD154 blockade that result in allograft protection, particularly in the context of alloreactive CD4/CD8 T cell activation, remain to be elucidated. We now report on the profound inhibition of alloreactive CD8(+) T...
