Abstract

Chronic rejection develops in MHC class I/II-mismatched mouse allografts with arteriosclerosis and intragraft T-cell activation. Blockade with murine CTLA4Ig was used to study the role of CD28-B7 T-cell costimulation in this model of vascular thickening. CBA/CaJ to C57BL/6J vascularized cardiac transplants were treated with murine CTLA4Ig delivered as a single dose (250 microg i.p.) on day 2 or chronically (100 microg i.p. on days 0, 2, and 4 and biweekly). Graft survival, function, and quantitative vessel analysis were compared with those of a reference group treated with anti-CD4 (days 1-4). Day 2 and chronic murine CTLA4Ig treatment prolonged graft survival (mean times and percentage of grafts surviving >75 days) and preserved graft function (measured by palpation scores). However, histology showed that chronic murine CTLA4Ig grafts had little parenchymal infiltration and less prominent vascular occlusion than day 2 murine CTLA4Ig-treated or 4-day anti-CD4-treated grafts. Quantitative analysis showed that the percentage of diseased vessels and the percentage of luminal occlusion were high in the day 2 murine CTLA4Ig group (78+/-20% and 41+/-12%, respectively, n=5) and the anti-CD4 group (94+/-9% and 52+/-17%, respectively, n...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
