Drug immunosuppression therapy for adult heart transplantation. Part 2: clinical applications and results
Ann Thorac Surg.
2004 Jan.
Abstract
This review describes the clinical application of classical immunosuppressive drugs as well as that of more recent drugs. All current immunosuppressive drugs target T-cell activation, and cytokine production and clonal expansion, or both. Immunosuppressive protocols can be broadly divided into induction therapy, maintenance immunosuppression, and treatment of acute rejection episodes.
