Abstract
Two adenosine deaminase inhibitors, erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine (EHNA) and 2-deoxycoformycin (2dCF) were evaluated for immunosuppressive properties in mouse and rat pancreatic islet cell allograft models. In the mouse model, administration of EHNA alone prolonged the survival of islet allografts. In the rat, neither EHNA or 2dCF alone permitted islet allograft survival. However, 2dCF, in combination with the deoxyadenosine analog adenine arabinoside provided significant rat islet allograft survival during a limited 8-day period of study.
