Blockade of the CD28 costimulatory molecule by recombinant human cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-associated antigen (CTLA4)-Ig or CD40-CD154 interaction with the monoclonal antibody 5C8 together with donor-specific transfusion led to enhanced engraftment in the canine model of dog leukocyte antigen (DLA)-identical marrow transplantation after 1 Gy total body irradiation. To reduce or eliminate total body irradiation conditioning regimens, we have sought to develop canine specific reagents.
