In an effort to produce specific immunosuppression through the targeting of those lymphocytes expressing cell surface interleukin 2 receptors in response to an allograft, the anti-human IL-2 receptor monoclonal antibody anti-Tac was administered to cynomolgus monkeys receiving renal transplants. The data demonstrate that anti-Tac produces a significant delay in renal allograft rejection and prolongs host survival in cynomolgus monkeys. Though higher doses of anti-Tac produce modest delays in rejection, there was a surprising finding of greatly prolonged survival in three of five monkeys treated with much lower doses of anti-Tac. Anti-Tac was not shown to be synergistic with cyclosporine in this model. Animals treated with anti-Tac developed high titers of antibodies against the murine monoclonal antibody after 6-8 days of treatment, associated with the disappearance of plasma anti-Tac staining of activated lymphocytes as measured by flow cytometry. The data confirm the utility of the IL-2 receptor as a target for immunosuppressive therapy, and suggest that investigations of dosage and of methods to reduce the immunogenicity of anti-IL-2 receptor agents may be beneficial.

D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects.
