To observe the immunosuppression effect of a novel HLA-derived peptide RDP1258, and to explore its mechanisms.
RDP1258 was synthesized chemically. The effect of the peptide on alloreactive proliferation of rat splenocytes was observed by (3)H-TdR incorporation method. The heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) activity was analyzed by the enzyme assay.
The results showed that the synthetic HLA-derived peptide could obviously inhibit the proliferation of rat splenocytes and HO-1 activity in a dose-dependent manner in-vitro.
HO-1 may participate in the inhibitory effect of RDP1258 on the proliferation of rat splenocytes induced by mitogen or alloantigen.
