Question
Answer
ATGAM   Polyclonal Antibody - Depleting Induction These antibodies coat the T-cells in the blood; these coated T-cells are then destroyed by the complement system  
🗑
Thymoglobulin   Polyclonal Antibody - Depleting Induction These antibodies coat the T-cells in the blood; these coated T-cells are then destroyed by the complement system  
🗑
Basiliximab   Simulect - antibody against CD25 (IL-2 receptor) which will prevent activated T lymphocyte proliferation  
🗑
CAMPATH-1H   Alemtuzumab - Monoclonal antibody - depleting Induction - acts directly at CD52 on all lymphocytes, NK cells, macrophages, monocytes, and granulocytes - activates complement and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity and lysis  
🗑
Azathioprine   Maintenance Immunosuppression - Antiproliferative drug -prodrug of 6-mercaptopurine - inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation - not first line!  
🗑
Mycophenolate mofetil   Cell-Cept - maintenance immunosuppression - prodrug of mycophenolic acid - inhibits IMPDH which interferes with purine metabolism required for lymphocyte development  
🗑
Myfortic   EC-MPS - enteric coated mycophenolic acid sodium - maintenance immunosuppression - inhibits IMPDH which interferes with purine metabolism required for lymphocyte development  
🗑
Cyclosporin   CYA - Neoral, Gengraft, Sandimmune, Sangcya - maintenance immunosuppression - inhibits calcium dependent calcineurin  
🗑
MOA for Calcineurin Inhibitors (CYA and TAC)   Inhibition of calcium dependent calcineurin - results in reduction of transcription of cytokine jeans needed for T-cell activation (bind calcineurin hindering the phosphatase site resoling in no activation of NFAT and inhibition of IL-2 production  
🗑
Neoral   CYA microemulsion to improve the variable GI absorption  
🗑
Prednisone or Methyprednisolone   General immunosuppressive with proposed action to inhibit IL-1 and IL-2 which decreases activation and proliferation of T-cells  
🗑
Sirolimus   (Rapamycin-RAPA) - Rapamune - inhibits m-TOR -> IL-2 timulates m-TOR to activate kinase enzymes that promote cell division - used to prevent acute rejection in kidney transplant with CYA and steroids (maintenance immunosuppression) - long half life  
🗑
Everolimus   (EVER) - mTOR inhibitor - used to prevent rejection in kedney transplant - dosed with CYA and glucocorticoids ((maintenance immunosuppression)  
🗑
Balatacept   Nulojix - selective co-stimulation blocker (signal 2) - prevents CD80 or CD86 on APC from interacting with CD28 on T-cells - inhibits T cell activation (maintenance immunosuppression)  
🗑
Induction Immunosuppression Regimens (High Risk Patients)   Thymoglobulin or Alemtuzumab or Basiliximab with MMF and glucocorticoids  
🗑
Induction Immunosuppression Regimens (Low Risk Patients)   Basiliximab (Simulect)  
🗑
Maintenance Immunosuppression Regimens & target troughs   TAC + MMF or EC-MPS + PRED (TAC trough 9-15 ng/mL for first 3 months) CYA + MMF or EC-MPS + PRED (CYA trough 150-300 ng/mL for 1st 3 months)  
🗑
Minimized Protocols (Steroid Avoidance) Maintenance Immunosuppression Regimens & Target toughs   Low dose TAC + regular dose MMF or EC-MPS (TAC tough 8-12ng/mL for first 3 months; then progress to 3-7 ng/mL) Low dose CYA +regular dose MMF or EC-MPS (CYA tough 100-200 ng/mL for first 3 months; progress to 50-100 ng/mL)  
🗑
Acute Cellular Rejection Medications   High Dose Methylprednisolone for 3 to 5 days Murine Monoclonal Antibody (Orthodone OKT3) Thymoglobulin - polyclonal AB Alemtuzumab (Campath) - moAB  
🗑
Humoral Rejection   Plasmapheresis: remove pathogenic immunoglobulins IV immunoglobulin (IVIG): inhibition/suppress AB production Rituximab - for refractory cases - humanized CD20 MoAB to deplete B cells  
🗑
Methotrexate (MTX)   Used for RA - immunosuppressant that inhibits dihydrofolate reductace which --> inhibits lymphocyte proliferation Must always be supplemented with folic acid BBW: pregnancy, concomitant NSAID use, hepatotoxicity  
🗑
Leflunomide (LEF)   Used for RA - inhibits dihydroorotate dehydrogenase which intern inhibits lymphocyte proliferation BBW: pregnancy, hepatic disease  
🗑
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)   Used for RA - inhibits migration of neutrophils and eosinophils, rheumatoid factor, acute phase reactants, and inhibits prostaglanding synthesis BBW: ocular disease  
🗑
Sulfasalazine (SSZ)   Used for RA BBW: G6PD dificiency, GI obstructions, porphyria  
🗑
