Abstract

Host treatment with MR1, but not CTLA4Ig, prolonged hepatocellular allograft survival. These data suggest that CD28/B7 interactions appear relatively unimportant, whereas CD40/CD40L interactions provide critical costimulator signals for T-cell-dependent immune responses to allogeneic hepatocytes.
