Patent

CA 2462046

The present disclosure provides methods for inducing tolerance in a recipient to a mismatched graft of an organ, tissue and/or cells. By receiving the recipient's thymus and providing hematopoietic stem cells from the donor, the previously "foreign" matter becomes recognized as "self" in the recipient and is not rejected. the patient's T cell population is depleted. In a preferred embodiment the hemapoietic stem cells are CD34+. The recipient's thymus is reactivated by disruption of sex steroid mediated signaling to the thymus. In a preferred embodiment this disruption is created by administration of LHRH agonists, LHRH antagonists, anti-LHRH receptor antibodies, anti-LHRH vaccines or combinations thereof.

L'invention concerne des procédés servant à induire la tolérance chez un récepteur à un greffon mal adapté d'un organe, d'un tissu et/ou de cellules. La réactivation du thymus du récepteur et la greffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques provenant du donneur permet au greffon préalablement "étranger" d'être reconnu en tant que "soi" chez le récepteur et de ne pas être rejeté. La population de lymphocytes T du patient est appauvrie. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les cellules souches hématopoïétiques sont CD34+. Le thymus du récepteur est réactivé par interruption de la signalisation vers le thymus dans laquelle les stéroïdes sexuels jouent un rôle de médiateur. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, cette interruption est créée par administration d'agonistes de LHRH, d'antagonistes de LHRH, d'anticorps anti-récepteurs de LHRH, de vaccins anti-LHRH ou de leurs combinaisons.
