Fc receptor nonbinding anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies show promise for clinical
application, in that they suppress graft rejection without the toxicity associated with
conventional anti-CD3 antibody therapy. Recent studies suggest that the mechanism of
soluble anti-CD3 antibody mediated immunosuppression involves partial signaling, induced
cytokine deviation and Th1 cell inactivation.
