Abstract
Anti-B7-1 antibodies or other B7-1 ligands may be used to prevent or treat a T-cell-mediated immune system disease in a patient or to induce antigen-specific tolerance. The anti-B7-1 antibodies may be used to cause T cell anergy, treat allograft transplant rejection, treat graft versus host disease, and prevent or treat rheumatoid arthritis. An immunosuppressive agent is co-administered with the antibody.
