This study demonstrates that the induction of tolerance is possible across a class I only antigenic barrier that fails to produce heart graft rejection. However, the long-term residence alone of such a graft per se, does not necessarily lead to the establishment of systemic tolerance in the recipient. The important finding in this study with regard to the biology of allograft tolerance, is that while the class I antigen provides the stimulus, its presence alone is not sufficient for the induction of tolerance; indeed, the action of the Cyclosporine A (CyA) is a necessary adjunct to its induction.
本研究表明,在仅缺乏能引发心脏移植排斥反应的I类抗原屏障的情况下,诱导免疫耐受是可能的。然而,此类移植本身的长期留存并不一定会导致受体建立全身免疫耐受。关于同种异体移植耐受生物学,本研究的重要发现是,虽然I类抗原提供了刺激,但仅其存在并不足以诱导免疫耐受;实际上,环孢素A(CyA)的作用是诱导免疫耐受的必要辅助条件。
