the recipients in all groups was observed and ELISA technique was used to detect the level of cytokines in peripheral blood on post-transplant day 7. Results The survival period of recipients in groups A (>60 days) and D (>60 days) was significantly longer than that in group B (13.8±2.4 days). The serum levels of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interferon γ in group B were significantly higher than those in other groups; the level of tumor necrosis factor α was higher but not statistically significant. In contrast, the serum levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in group D were elevated more significantly than those in group B (P<0.05). Conclusions Combined immune therapy can prolong the survival of allografts. Increased expression of Th2 cytokines, which is closely related to the induction of tolerance and suppression of rejection, is beneficial to the long-term survival of recipients and allografts.
