Abstract
The pathways regulating immunological tolerance are complex and overlapping. Here, we comment on our findings that the PD-1, CTLA-4, LAG-3 and TGFβ inhibitory molecules are all involved in mediating peripheral CD8 T‑cell tolerance induced by anti-CD40L and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in mice. These observations suggest the possibility of targeted manipulation of these pathways for induction of mixed hematopoietic chimerism for donor-specific transplantation tolerance.Entities:
