Objective:To study the influence of donor dendritic cells (DCs) modified with ICOS extracellular region on the survival of renal allografts in rats. Methods:Bone marrow derived DCs of Brown Norway(BN) rats were modified with ICOS extracellular region gene recombined adenovirus and injected into Lewis rats 24 h before BN→Lewis kidney transplantation. Survival time of renal allografts was observed and one-way mixed splenic cell reaction (MSR) of the recipients to donors and the third party rats were performed by means of MTT on the 20th postoperative day. Results:Survival time of renal allografts was prolonged significantly [comparedwith control
(23.2±3.08) d vs(8.5±1.4) d
P <0.01]. On the 20th day
the recipients showed significant hyporesponsiveness to donors (compared with normal control
MSR was(0.37±0.06) vs(0.84±0.12)
P<0.01
but showed normal reaction to the third party.Conclusion:Donor DCs modified with ICOS extracellular region can induce a significant prolongation of renal allografts survival.
