| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was performed in kidney transplant (KTx) recipients from living donors. Lymphocytes were harvested 2 days before KTx. Recipient's PBMCs were co-cultured with irradiated (30Gy) donor cells in the presence of anti CD80/CD86 mAb for 2 weeks. As preconditioning, splenectomy or rituximab + cyclophosphamide (CP) were employed. Twelve days after KTx, the cultured cells were intravenously infused, after that immunosuppressants were gradually tapered. In the cultured cells, CD4, CD25, and FoxP3 expressions were upregulated. The recipients showed excellent graft survival rate and function. Final doses of CsA and MMF were almost half of conventional KTx, however high incidence of BPAR: 3 subclinical, 4 anti-rejection treatments, obliged us to discontinue further reducing immunosuppressants. These results showed that adoptive transfer of anergic cells could be one of promising approaches as tolerance-inducing strategy.
