A case of long-term tolerance after kidney transplantation
We present a case of long-term organ functioning (ca.10 years) after allografting of a cadaveric kidney without usage of immunosuppressing drugs. In 2005, a patient suffering from a hypertensive form of chronic glomerulonephritis, have received an ...

Pitfall in the high-throughput quantification of whole blood cyclosporin A using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
In a growing number of laboratories the technique of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is used for the quantification of cyclosporin A in whole blood, employing cyclosporin D as the internal standard. Cyclosporin A is extensively metabolized

Cyclosporin inhibits hyperalgesia and edema in arthritic rats: role of the central nervous system [PDF]
Since arthritis induced by Mycobacterium products (adjuvant) in rats is considered to be immunologically driven, the objective of the present study was to determine if the immunosuppressor drug cyclosporin could affect hindpaw edema and joint ...

Mitochondrial targeting of cyclosporin A enables selective inhibition of cyclophilin-D and enhanced cytoprotection after glucose and oxygen deprivation [PDF]
CsA (cyclosporin A) is a hydrophobic undecapeptide that inhibits CyPs (cyclophilins), a family of PPIases (peptidylprolyl cis–trans isomerases). In some experimental models, CsA offers partial protection against lethal cell injury brought about by ...

Binding of Different Cyclosporin Variants to Micelles Evidenced by NMR and MD Simulations
Peptides play a critical role in the life of organisms, performing completely different functions. The biological activity of some peptides, such as cyclosporins, can be determined by the degree of membrane permeability.

The hepatitis B virus X protein activates nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) by a cyclosporin A-sensitive pathway. [PDF]
The X gene product of the human hepatitis B virus (HBx) is a transcriptional activator of various viral and cellular genes. We recently have determined that the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by HBV-infected hepatocytes is ...
