Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the effect of anti-PD (programmed death)-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and anti-BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator) mAb in fully MHC-mismatched murine model of cardiac allograft transplantation. CBA mice underwent transplantation of C57BL/6 hearts and received one dose of combination of 6B2 and PIM-2 on day 0. Adoptive transfer was performed to determine whether regulatory cells were generated. Cell-proliferation and cytokine assessments were also performed. When CBA mice were given with combination for one dose of 6B2 and PIM-2, the allograft survival was indefinitely prolonged (MST, >100 days). Secondary CBA recipients given whole splenocytes from primary combination-treated CBA recipients with C57BL/6 cardiac allografts 30 days after grafting had prolonged C57BL/6 allograft survival. In conclusion, combination of anti-BTLA mAb and anti-PD-1 mAb could induce indefinite survival of cardiac allografts and may generate regulatory cells.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
抗BTLA抗体と抗PD-1抗体の併用による①各抗体の単独投与よりも強い生着延長効果、②制御性T細胞の誘導による拒絶反応の制御を証明することは、非特異的な免疫抑制剤の減量と慢性拒絶反応制御の解明に繋がり、現代移植医療にとって望ましい結果をもたらす。
