Abstrakt: We have previously shown that phosphorothioate intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (oligo) IP-9125 blocks the expression of rat ICAM-1 mRNA in rat L2 cells. A single ex situ perfusion of grafts with unformulated IP-9125, suspended in Euro-Collins solution, prolonged the survival of kidney allografts in rats. The present experiments examined whether perfusion of kidneys with unformulated IP-9125 prevents ischemic/reperfusion injury.
