Evidence to Support the Role of HLA-G5 in Allograft Acceptance through Induction of Immunosuppressive/ Regulatory T Cells
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
The soluble HLA-G5 isoform encoded by intron-4 retaining spliced transcript has been previously detected in vivo in sera and grafts from transplanted patients who had significantly better graft acceptance. These findings led us to investigate the role of HLA-G5 in tolerance induction in vitro and its biological relevance in allograft acceptance in vivo. We demonstrated that engagement of Ig-like transcript-2 and...
