“…These agents include humanized anti-IL-2 receptor mAb's; tacrolimus, a drug related to cyclosporin that inhibits calcineurin and blocks IL-2-dependent T cell activation; mycophenolate mofetil, which blocks lymphocyte purine biosynthesis; and rapamycin, an inhibitor of multiple kinase-dependent cell cycle regulators. While the use of these agents has undoubtedly improved the short-term graft survival times (2), their impact on long-term outcome remains unknown (5). Some of these treatments may indeed improve longterm kidney graft survival (6), but others are difficult to judge because they have been used clinically for too short a period (7).…”

“…With the pharmacopoeia of the transplant biologist continually expanding (2), the potential treatment combinations have become baffling and their impact on strategies to induce tolerance ever more complex. The increasing demand for organ transplantation and the imbalance with the supply of donor organs (3) makes it an urgent necessity to optimize the outcome of clinical transplantation.…”

“…Since the consequences of complications of immunosuppression may be life threatening, this approach is only acceptable for patients who are blind for the want of a functioning graft and are prepared to risk a potentially fatal outcome to achieve an improvement in vision. 46 A summary of the options available to surgeons managing patients with high-risk corneal transplants is presented in Table 3.…”

“…O domínio das técnicas cirúrgicas proporcionou grande divulgação do método, que entretanto continua encontrando a barreira imunológica como grande adversário. As drogas e o corticosteróide produzem um bloqueio inespecífico da resposta imune 1 . As imunoglobulinas ou frações também promovem uma imunossupressão inespecífica 2 .…”
