Non-Complement- and Complement-Activating Antibodies Synergize to Cause Rejection of Cardiac Allografts
1 Mar 2004

Alloantibodies (AlloAbs) are a clinically significant component of the immune response to organ transplants. In our experimental model, B10.A (H-2a) cardiac transplants survived significantly longer in C57BL/6 (H-2b) immunoglobulin knock-out (IgKO) recipients than in their wild-type (WT) counterparts. Passive transfer of a single 50-200-microg dose of complement-activating IgG2b AlloAbs to IgKO recipients...
