| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Islet allograft rejection in sensitized recipients is difficult to control by costimulation blockade using anti-CD154 and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 immunoglobulin (CTLA4Ig). Because leukocyte function antigen (LFA) 1 is highly expressed on memory T cells, adding an LFA-1 blockade may inhibit memory T-cell activities. We examined the effects on islet allograft survival of triple costimulation blockade in presensitized recipient mice. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were sensitized by transplantation under the kidney capsule or intraperitoneal injection of Balb/c islets. Four weeks after transplantation, sensitization was confirmed by flow-cytometric detection of alloreactive antibodies. Diabetes was induced by a single intravenous injection of streptozotocin. Recipients were transplanted with 200 Balb/c islets under the right kidney capsule. Graft function was assessed by daily blood glucose and body weight records. Transplanted animals were divided into 3 treatment groups: group 1, control antibody; group 2, anti-CD154 and CTLA-4 Ig double therapy; group 3, anti-CD154, CTLA4Ig, and anti-LFA-1 triple therapy. Injections were administered every second day from day -2 to day 8. RESULTS: Naïve mice rejected islet allografts between days 7 and 29 (mean 16 +/- 6 d; n = 5), sensitized mice in group 1 between days 0 and 14 (mean 7 +/- 5 d; n = 8), in group 2 between days 4 and 16 (mean 8 +/- 4 d; n = 7), and in group 3 between days 4 and 26 (mean 11 +/- 7 d; n = 10). CONCLUSION: Triple costimulation blockade with anti-CD154, CTLA4Ig, and anti-LFA-1 was not sufficient to improve islet allograft survival in sensitized recipients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
