Factors influencing the patterns of T lymphocyte allorecognition.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We investigated a novel immunosuppressive protocol including thymoglobulin induction in combination with sirolimus and corticosteroids, followed by introduction of markedly reduced exposures to cyclosporine to prevent pancreas-transplant rejection. METHODS:A 7-day course of thymoglobulin (1.5 mg/kg per day)...

If a strong and pure Th2 response could be engaged to alloantigens in adult mice, it might result in allograft tolerance. In an attempt to induce Th2 immunity in adults, we studied the T-cell response to peptide I-A bet...
