ABSTRACT:
An improved immunomodulatory therapy for enhancement of depressed host defense mechanisms as shown by improved allograft survival rates is disclosed. The therapy comprises the synergistic combination of an immunomodulatory diet consisting of an amino acid such as arginine, ornithine and their salts, a nucleotide such as RNA and fish oil as a source of omega-3-fatty acids together with an immunosuppressive treatment comprising the administration of a donor specific transfusion and cyclosporine.
