Abstract Continuous immunosuppression has been widely used in xenografts into non-human primate brains. However, how immune responses change after transplantation in host brains under continuous immunosuppressive administration and whether immunosuppression can be withdrawn to mitigate side effects remain unclear. Human induced neural stem/progenitor cells (iNPCs) have shown long-term survival and efficient neuronal differentiation in primate brains. Here, we evaluate the immune responses in primate brains triggered by human grafts. The results show that the immune responses, including the evident activation of microglia and the strong infiltration of lymphocytes (both T- and B-cells), are caused by xenografts at 4 months post transplantation (p.t.), but significantly reduced at 8 months p.t. under continuous administration of immunosuppressant Cyclosporin A. However, early immunosuppressant withdrawal at 5 months p.t. results in severe immune responses at 10 months p.t. These results suggest that continuous long-term immunosuppression is required for suppressing immune responses to xenografts in primate brains. |
