Alternative Immunomodulatory Strategies for Xenotransplantation: CD80/CD86-CTLA4 Pathway-Modified Immature Dendritic Cells Promote Xenograft Survival
29 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Xenotransplantation is a promising approach to circumventing the current organ shortage. However, T-cell-dependent anti-xenoresponses are a major challenge to successful xenografts. Given the advantages of the use of CTLA4-Ig in the survival of allografts, the purpose of the study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of CTLA4-IgG4 modified immature dendritic cells (imDCs) in the prevention of...
