Abstract
Background. It has been previously demonstrated that addition of anti-LFA-1 to a combination of CTLA4Ig and anti-CD40L induces the permanent acceptance of dopaminergic fetal pig xenografts when transplanted into the brain of wild-type mice. The purpose of this study was to test whether this costimulation blockade also can induce acceptance of adult pig islets transplanted to C5713L/6 mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Methods. Recipients were treated with CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L +/- anti-LFA-1 or isotype control antibodies during the first week after transplantation. Half of the costimulation blockade-treated recipients had their grafts removed after 8 weeks. The other half was observed up to 5 months. Results. Recipients treated with... (More)

The purpose of this study was to test whether this costimulation blockade also can induce acceptance of adult pig islets transplanted to C5713L/6 mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Methods. Recipients were treated with CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L +/- anti-LFA-1 or isotype control antibodies during the first week after transplantation. Half of the costimulation blockade-treated recipients had their grafts removed after 8 weeks. The other half was observed up to 5 months. Results. Recipients treated with CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L/anti-LFA-1 had significantly lower blood glucose and gained more weight than CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L-treated recipients. CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L-treated recipients exhibited unstable blood glucose. IPGTT of these recipients revealed a slow recovery to normal blood glucose levels at week 4. In comparison, CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L/anti-LFA-1 treated recipients exhibited a significantly superior glucose clearance. CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L +/- anti-LFA-1 treated recipients did not produce anti-pig IgG, whereas control antibody-treated mice did. CD4+ T cells from costimulation blockade-treated recipients proliferated less than CD4+ T cells from control antibody-treated mice when co-cultured with syngeneic antigen presenting cells loaded with pig islet antigens. Conclusions. CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L/anti-LFA-1-treated recipients had superior islet function compared with CTLA4Ig/anti-CD40L-treated recipients. However, both costimulation blockade regimens led to islet graft acceptance up to 5 months after a 1-week treatment. (Less)
