  • Publication number: 20230324369
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of identifying immunosuppressive TR1 regulatory T cells, including methods of diagnosing the presence of immune tolerance, methods of producing immunosuppressive regulatory T cells, and methods of eliciting immune tolerance in a subject. These methods include screening T cells to detect Eomes+IL-10+ T cells or expressing recombinant Eomes in T cell populations to generate immunosuppressive regulatory T cells.

  • Publication number: 20120082690
    Abstract: The invention is directed to the use of cpn10 in transplantation and particularly to treatment and/or prevention of graft versus host disease. The invention provides a method of administration of cpn10 to a donor and/or recipient animal or cells, tissues or organs derived from the donor, although in a particularly advantageous form treatment of both the donor and recipient animal. The method may further include the administration to the donor and/or recipient animal at least one other immunosuppressive agent to prevent or alleviate graft versus host disease.
