摘要: Cyclophosphamide (CTX) prevents progression of nephritis and prolongs survival in (NZB x NZW)F(1) (B/W) mice is used to treat humans with lupus nephritis. To compare the efficacy CTLA4Ig CTX determine whether there an incremental benefit combining CTX, we treated B/W CTLA4Ig, or both agents. In mild renal disease, treatment delayed onset proteinuria prolonged all groups. advanced agents reduced 71% mice, whereas either agent alone had no such improvement. Survival was also markedly improved among Thus, combination more effective than reducing disease prolonging This striking reversal unprecedented animal models SLE.
