Became adenylate cyclase activators such as prosta-glandin E 1 elevate lymphocytic cyclic
AMP and inhibit T cell proliferation and the effector function of cytotoxic T cells in vitro, we
tested the efficacy of 15 (S)-15-methyl prostaglandin E 1, a prostaglandin derivative with a
prolonged biologic half-life. Treatment with this agent resulted in a near complete protection
of renal grafts from immunologic damage, despite withholding therapy until day 4 following
transplantation.
