摘要
Purpose:Toexamine the effect of Tii treatment of cornea graft survival in a rab-bit model.Methods:Tii was administrated orally after eccentrical corneal transplantation.Survival times were determined by biomicroscopy.Cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTL)and delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH)responses to donor alloantigens were assessed at ady 16after heterotopic corneal grafts.Results:Administration of Tii reduced the incidence and prologed the graft sur-vival time.Both CTLand DTH responses to donor alloantigens were severely ed-pressed in hosts treated with Tii.However,combination of Tii and cyclosporine further enhanced the immunosuppressive effects described above.Conclusions:Tii is a potent immunosuppressant with the ability to prolong allo-graft survival in the rabbit penetrating keratoplasty model and may have coordi-native effects with CsA through different mechanisms.Further studies are neces-sary to define any potentially coordinative role in the prevention of allograft rejec-tion in human keratoplasty.Eye Science 1995;11:168-172.
Purpose: To examine the effect of Tii treatment of cornea graft survival in a rabbit model.
Methods: Tii was administrated orally after eccentrical corneal transplantation. Survival times were determined by biomicroscopy. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to donor alloantigens were assessed at day 16 after heterotopic corneal grafts.
Results: Administration of Tii reduced the incidence and prologed the graft survival time. Both CTL and DTH responses to donor alloantigens were severely depressed in hosts treated with Tii. However, combination of Tii and cyclosporine further enhanced the immunosuppressive effects described above. Conclusions: Tii is a potent immunosuppressant with the ability to prolong allo-graft survival in the rabbit penetrating keratoplasty model and may have coordinative effects with CsA through different mechanisms. Further studies are necessary to define any potentially coordinative role in the prevention of allograft rejection in human keratoplasty. Eye Science 1995; 11: 168- 172.
