"Achievement of effective, safe and long-term immunosuppression represents one of the challenges in experimental allogeneic and xenogeneic cell and organ transplantation. The goal of the present study was to develop a reliable, long-term immunosuppression protocol in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by: 1) comparing the pharmacokinetics of four different subcutaneously delivered/implanted tacrolimus (TAC) formulations, including: i) caster oil/saline solution, ii) unilamellar or multilamellar liposomes, iii) biodegradable microspheres, and iv) biodegradable 3-month lasting pellets; and 2) defining the survival and immune response in animals receiving spinal injections of human neural precursors at 6. weeks to 3. months after cell grafting. In animals implanted with TAC pellets (3.4. mg/kg/day), a stable 3-month lasting plasma concentration of TAC averaging 19.1. . 4.9. ng/ml was measured. Analysis of grafted cell survival in SOD. + or spinal trauma-injured SD rats immunosuppressed with 3-month lasting TAC pellets (3.4-5.1. mg/kg/day) showed the consistent presence of implanted human neurons with minimal or no local T-cell infiltration. These data demonstrate that the use of TAC pellets can represent an effective, long-lasting immunosuppressive drug delivery system that is safe, simple to implement and is associated with a long-term human neural precursor survival after grafting into the spinal cord of SOD. + or spinal trauma-injured SD rats." . .
