| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to generate soluble forms of cell adhesion molecules which can efficiently inhibit the costimulatory signals for T cell activation and proliferation. We generated a fusion protein consisting of a Fc portion of human IgG_1 or human IgM and an extracellular portion of mouse CTLA4 (CTLA4-IgG and CTLA4-IgM,respectively).
CTLA4-IgM efficiently inhibited the T cell proliferation induced by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) as compared to CTLA4-IgG.Furthermore, the combination of low does FK506 and CTLA4-IgM (2.3mug/ml) resulted in significant prolongation of cardiac allograft surviral (C57BL/6 into CBA/J), where as cardiac alloglaft surviral in recipients treated with FK506 plus CTLA4-IgG (2.3mug/ml) resulted in moderate prolongation of grafts.
