Prevention of tuberculosis infection and disease by local BCG in repeatedly exposed rhesus macaques.

TL;DR: It is shown that pulmonary BCG prevents infection by using a repeated limiting-dose Mycobacterium tuberculosis challenge model and polyfunctional T-helper type 17 (TH17) cells, interleukin-10 and immunoglobulin A as correlates of local protective immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of kidney allograft rejection using anti-CD40 and anti-CD86 in primates.

TL;DR: Blocking costimulation by anti-CD40 or by anti -CD40 plusAnti-CD86 plus anti- CD86 may be an effective method to prevent graft rejection and may obviate the need for other immunosuppressive drugs, especially in the immediate posttransplantation period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of IL-1β in rhesus EAE and MS lesions is mainly induced in the CNS itself.

TL;DR: Although the exact localization and relative intensity of IL-1β expression in EAE and MS is different, the staining pattern in both neuroinflammatory disorders is most consistent with the idea that the expression of IL -1β during lesion development is induced in the tissue rather than in the periphery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Costimulation blockade followed by a 12-week period of cyclosporine A facilitates prolonged drug-free survival of rhesus monkey kidney allografts.

TL;DR: An induction therapy using antagonistic antibodies against CD40 and CD86 is reported, followed by a delayed 12-week course of low-dose cyclosporine A (CsA) treatment in the rhesus monkey kidney-allograft model, which resulted in more than 3-year drug-free survival in two of four animals.
