eukaryotic cells of the at least one hla g isoform on their surface express and their use

摘要

The invention concerns the use of a eukaryotic cell coding for at least an HLA-G isoform, to obtain an immunomodulating medicine for inhibiting the activity of killer cells, in particular NK cells and/or for inhibiting the primary allogenic response, in parthologies or situations in which the killer cells are activated or for preparing a medicine to raise the inhibiting function of the isoform(s) expressed by said cells with respect to killer cells, in particular NK cells, in pathologies where these killer cells are inhibited by the molecule of the major histocompatibility complex of I HLA-G classes. The invention also concerns eukaryotic cells expressing at their surface at least an HLA-G isoform and their applications. The invention further concerns transgenic animals specifically expressing at least an HLA-G isoform.
