Abstract excerpt
Donor dendritic cells (DCs) within allografts initiate the induction of an allospecific T cell response, while an abortive alloantigen presentation by DCs may induce allospecific unresponsiveness. We thus investigated the tolerogenic effect of donor DCs that were made incompetent in alloantigen presentation by treatment of CTLA4Ig. When we treated rats with donor DCs (2 x 10(6)/rat i.v.) on the preoperative day,...
