The purposes of this study were to evaluate a novel anti-histone H1 monoclonal antibody (SSV mAb) generated from a peptide mimotope as an immunosuppressant for organ transplantation using experimental animals and to elucidate the mechanism of immunosuppression by SSV mAb. SSV mAb suppressed mixed lymphocyte reaction using rat splenocytes in a way that is independent of IL-2. SSV mAb recognized three Cell surface antigens on rat splenocytes. Treatment with SSV mAb did not prevent acute rejection in heterotopic heart transplanted rats. From this result, I conclude that SSV mAb does not work as an immunosuppressant in vivo.
