Costimulation blockade by combining CTLA4Ig with anti-CD40L mAb markedly inhibits the inflammatory response of experimental autoimmune myocarditis

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of costimulation blockade with cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated-antigen 4-immunoglobulin (CTLA4Ig) and anti-CD40L monoclonal antibody (anti-CD40L mAb) on an experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) mouse model. Characteristics of myocardial tissu...
