Abstract

See full text

Activation of cells bearing CD40 on their cell surface by CD40 ligand is inhibited by contacting the cells with an agent capable of inhibiting interaction between CD40 ligand and the cells, in an amount effective to inhibit activation of the cells. Activation of cells bearing CD40 on their surface by CD40 ligand in a subject is inhibited by administering to the subject an agent capable of inhibiting interaction between CD40 ligand and the cells, in an amount effective to inhibit activation of the cells. Reperfusion injury, in an non-transplant recipient, is a condition associated with CD40 ligand-induced activation of CD40-bearing cells. Therefore, reperfusion injury can be treated by the administration of anti-human CD40L monoclonal antibodies, such as those described herein (e.g. 5c8 mAb).
