## Abstract The application of multiple immunosuppressive therapy for organ transplantation could enhance therapeutic efficacy, while minimizing the toxicity of individual drugs used in the regimen. In this study, the effect of the combined therapy of vincristine (VCR) with tacrolimus (FK506) or si

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of rapamycin (RAPA) and cyclosporine A (CsA) monotherapy and combination therapy was examined in prevention of kidney allograft rejection in the mouse. Both drugs were administered orally for up to 14 days in BALB/c (H-2 d ) to C57BL/6 (H-2 b ) mice strong combination. Six groups were treated with RAPA and/or CsA. This study shows that con-comitant therapy of RAPA and CsA produces strong synergistic interaction in prolonging renal allograft survival in mice when compared with monotherapy of RAPA or CsA.
