Influence of CTLA4Ig combined with rapamycin on the survival of renal allografts in rats
Objective:To study the influence of Costimulatory Blockade CTLA4Ig combined with rapamycin(RPM)on the survival of renal allografts in rats.Methods:BN→Lewis rat kidney transplantation was performed.The recipients were grouped into group1(control)
group2(CTLA4Ig)
group3(rapamycin
RPM) and group4(CTLA4Ig+RPM).The survival of renal allografts
serum creatinine of the recipients and the pathological changes of the allografts were observed.Results:Significantly prolonged allografts survival time was seen in group 2
3 and 4 compared with control
with the longest in group 4.The lowest serum creatinine and fewest lymphocytes infiltrating grafts were also seen in group4.Conclusion:Combined use of CTLA4Ig and rapamycin(RPM)may suppress renal allograft rejection effectively and promote further prolongation of the survival of renal allografts.
