✦ Synopsis
Abstract
We describe a regulatory lymphoid dendritic cell (LDC) population propagated from mouse liver nonparenchymal cells (NPC) in IL‐3 and anti‐CD40 monoclonal antibody that are phenotypically mature, and induce T‐cell hyporesponsiveness by promoting T‐cell apoptotic death, which is partially caspase‐dependent, but is unlikely to be mediated by soluble factor(s). In vivo administration of liver LDC significantly prolonged the survival of vascularized cardiac allografts in an alloantigen‐specific manner. This is associated with enhanced T‐cell death in secondary lymphoid organs. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. Microsurgery 26: 21–24, 2006.
