    摘要: A method of creating tolerance to transplanted cells, tissue, or organs without the need for continuous immunosuppression. A tolerizing dose of a cell or tissue within a membrane structure is implanted into a patient. Once the patient becomes tolerant to the cell or tissue, a tissue or organ is implanted which will no longer be recognized as foreign matter. The method makes animal organs practical for human use, prevents autoimmune destruction as well as immune rejection. It has applications in treatment and prevention of many mammalian diseases.

    摘要: Methods for inducing antigen-specific T cell tolerance are disclosed. The methods involve contacting a T cell with: 1) a cell which presents antigen to the T cell, wherein a ligand on the cell interacts with a receptor on the surface of the T cell which mediates contact-dependent helper effector function; and 2) an antagonist of the receptor on the surface of the T cell which inhibits interaction of the ligand on the antigen presenting cell with the receptor on the T cell. In a preferred embodiment, the cell which presents antigen to the T cell is a B cell and the receptor on the surface of the T cell which mediates contact-dependent helper effector function is gp39. Preferably, the antagonist is an anti-gp39 antibody or a soluble gp39 ligand (e.g., soluble CD40). The methods of the invention can be used to induce T cell tolerance to a soluble antigen or to an allogeneic cell. The methods of the invention can also be used to induce tolerance in cases of bone marrow transplantation and other organ transplants and to inhibit graft-versus-host disease.

    摘要: The present invention describes recombinant RV mutants comprising a combined mutation in two different parts of the viral genome, involving the P and the G genes. The mutations in the P gene preferably encompass residues 139 to 170, more preferably residues 139 to 149, most preferably residues 143-149. The mutation can be a substitution or deletion of one or more amino acids in the above region, as well as combinations of deletion and substitution. Preferred mutants according to the invention may be obtained by deleting residues 143 to 149 or 139 to 149 of the phosphoprotein (P) of rabies virus and simultaneously replacing the Arg at position 333 of the glycoprotein into another residue, preferably Asp instead of Arg. Surprisingly, when these mutations were introduced into rabies viruses lacking Arg at position 333 of their G protein, a dramatic reduction in pathogenicity for suckling mice was observed. This unexpected finding has a profound advantage in developing more safe live attenuated rabies vaccines. The mutation in the G gene may comprise a mutation of the Arg333 codon into a codon that differs by one, two or three nucleotides from said Arg333 codon. Preferably the mutants are mutants of a RV strain in which all three nucleotides of the Arg333 codon are substituted.
