The effect of the anti-cell adhesion molecule antibodies, anti-ICAM-1 (1A29) and anti-LFA-1 (WT1), on rat liver transplantation was investigated. Livers from ACI rats were transplanted into Lewis rats by Kamada's method and during the recipient operation 1A29 1 mg/kg, and WT1 1 mg/kg were administered intravenously to one group of rats (treated group). The survival time of the treated group was significantly longer than that of the untreated group, but permanent unresponsiveness could not be induced. Postmortem examination revealed little histological evidence of acute rejection in treated rats, in which the main cause of death was thought to be chronic rejection.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).

D016169 Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen-1 An integrin heterodimer widely expressed on cells of hematopoietic origin. CD11A ANTIGEN comprises the alpha chain and the CD18 antigen (CD18 ANTIGENS) the beta chain. Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 is a major receptor of T-CELLS; B-CELLS; and GRANULOCYTES. It mediates the leukocyte adhesion reactions underlying cytolytic conjugate formation, helper T-cell interactions, and antibody-dependent killing by NATURAL KILLER CELLS and granulocytes. Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 has been defined as a ligand for lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1.

D018799 Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 A cell-surface ligand involved in leukocyte adhesion and inflammation. Its production is induced by gamma-interferon and it is required for neutrophil migration into inflamed tissue.
