Abstract: The present invention provides methods utilizing changes in CD4+CD57+ T cells levels for determining the susceptibility of a transplant patient or patient in need thereof to costimulation blockade resistant rejection. These methods are useful for identifying effective drug regimens for the treatment of immune disorders associated with graft transplantation and/or maintenance of a transplant.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for regulating cell-mediated immune responses, immune system diseases and allograft transplant rejection by interfering with the interaction of at least three different cell surface molecules with their natural ligands. A first cellular interaction is mediated by CD28/B7/CTLA4, a second interaction is mediated by CD40/CD154, and a third interaction is mediated by LFA-1 interaction with its ligands. Regulation of a cell-mediated immune response affects immune system diseases such as those associated with allograft transplantation.
