Previous studies have shown that treatment of rat cardiac transplant recipients with a combination of antibodies against the T-cell integrins LFA-1 and VLA-4 gave a modest prolongation of graft survival. Current experiments were designed to examine the effect of blocking Mac-1, an im portant monocyte adhesion receptor and mediator of monocyte migration, together with anti-LFA-1 and anti-VLA-4 antibodies on cardiac graft survival and on the graft rejection pattern. The anti-Mac-1, CDllb-specific antibody OX-42 did not affect graft survival time al though it did decrease the graft in filtration by rounded, ED-2-positive macrophages.
