Inadequate supplies of donor corneas have evoked an escalating interest in corneal xenotransplantation. However, innate immune responses contribute significantly to the mechanism xenograft rejection. We hypothesized that complement component C5 and TLR co-receptor CD14 inhibition would inhibit porcine cornea induced responses. Therefore, we measured cytokine release human blood, by three forms xenografts with or without inhibitors. Native (NPC) interleukins (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1ra),...

Abstract Studies in mice and humans have shown that CD8 + T cell immunosurveillance non-lymphoid tissues is dominated by resident populations. Whether CD4 cells use the same strategies to survey peripheral less clear. Here, examining turnover of transplanted duodenum humans, we demonstrate majority were still donor-derived one year after transplantation. In contrast memory blood, intestinal RM expressed CD69 CD161, but only a minor fraction CD103. Functionally, very potent cytokine...
