| Tacrolimus |
Tacrolimus is a highly potent immunosuppressive agent. In particular, tacrolimus inhibits the formation of cytotoxic lymphocytes, which are mainly responsible for graft rejection. Tacrolimus suppresses T-cell activation and T-helper-cell dependent B-cell proliferation, as well as the formation of lymphokines (such as interleukins-2, -3, and ฮณ-interferon) and the expression of the interleukin-2 receptor. |
