The rate of chronic pancreas graft loss in simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation has remained almost unchanged despite induction therapy. Since 1987, seven major immunosuppressive induction agents-basiliximab, daclizumab, ALG, eATG, OKT 3, alembuzumab, rATG-have been used as immunosuppressive induction agents. Those agents improved short-term survival by preventing acute rejection, but improvement of short-term survival has not translated into improved long-term graft survival. As with most solid organ transplants, there is a need for means to control chronic rejection to improve long-term graft survival.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
