CD8+ T cells contribute to the development of transplant arteriosclerosis despite CD154 blockade.
BACKGROUND: The CD40-CD154 receptor-ligand pair plays a critical role in allograft rejection by mediating the activation of endothelial cells, antigen-presenting cells, and T cells. Blockade of this interaction prevents acute allograft rejection and leads to prolonged allograft survival in numerous...
