immune system
• germinal centers do not form when stimulated with a thymus-dependent antigen
|
• IgE levels are undetectable under normal conditions
|
• IgG3 levels are elevated under normal conditions
|
• no IgG is detected in an alloantibody response to MHC class I molecule Dd
|
• IgG1 levels are reduced
|
• IgG2b levels are reduced and IgG2b levels are low under normal conditions
|
• little IgM is detected in an alloantibody response to MHC class I molecule Dd
|
• IgM levels are increased under normal conditions
|
• transplant arteriosclerosis is reduced when IL4 is inhibited in CD8+ T cell depleted mice to a greater degree than in control mice under the same treatment conditions
• however, intimal proliferation of transplant arteriosclerosis is similar to controls mice even when Cd8+ T cells are depleted
• decrease in CD4+ and CD8+ T cell and macrophage (CD11b+) infiltration of aortic allografts with an increase in eosinophil graft infiltration
• however, neutralization of IL4 reduces eosinophil proliferation and infiltration of aortic allografts
