Interleukin-12 (IL-12p70) promotes induction of highly potent Th1-like CD4+CD25+T regulatory cells that inhibit allograft rejection in unmodified recipients.
In rat models, CD4+CD25+T regulatory cells (Treg) play a key role in the induction and maintenance of antigen specific transplant tolerance, especially in DA rats with PVG cardiac allografts(1, 2). We have previously described generation of alloantigen specific Treg (Ts1), by culture of naïve natur...
