Abstract
Purpose: We established a primate model to investigate the effects of the antileukocyte function associated antigen 1 (CD 11a) mAb odulimomab (Imtix-Sangstad, Lyon, France) for preventing renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.Materials and Methods: We randomly divided 34 Macaca cynomolgus monkeys into groups 1 and 2, which received a renal autograft after 2 hours of cold ischemia, and groups 3 and 4, which received the autograft after 24 hours of cold ischemia. Before cold ischemia all harvested kidneys were subjected to 30 to 45 minutes of warm ischemia. Groups 1 and 3 monkeys were treated with an antileukocyte function associated antigen 1 mAb before cold ischemia and then for 3 days, while groups 2 and 4 monkeys received an IgG1 isotype control. In all groups renal function was investigated before warm ischemia and 72 hours after reperfusion. Serum creatinine and the leukocyte count were determined daily. Histological studies were done and lactoferrin was measured in the autotransplanted kidney 72 hours af...
