Nondepleting anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody enhances the ability of oral alloantigen delivery to induce indefinite survival of cardiac allografts: oral tolerance to alloantigen.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Current desensitization (DES) methods are not always effective. Thus, novel, more effective approaches are desirable. Interleukin (IL)-6 is an attractive target as it promotes B-cell differentiation to plasma cells, is important for immunoglobulin production, and induces Th17 cells. Here, we undertook a phas...
