Immunobiology and immunopharmacology of organ allograft rejection

M Suthanthiran et al. J Clin Immunol. 1995 Jul.

Abstract

Much has been learned regarding immunobiological mechanisms responsible for the rejection of histoincompatible allografts. There has also been considerable progress in our understanding of mechanisms responsible for tolerance. The new knowledge gained regarding graft destructive alloimmunity process and the mechanisms of action of immunosuppressants have resulted in solid organ graft survival rates that are in excess of 80% at one year posttransplantation. The principles of tolerance mechanism are yet to be successfully applied in the clinic. In this review, molecular and cellular mechanisms of action of clinically useful immunosuppressive drugs are reviewed from the perspective of regulation of the anti-allograft repertory.
