Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 immunoglobulin (CTLA4Ig) and anti-cluster of differentiation 154 (anti-CD154) are able to block B7/CD28 and CD40/CD154 co-stimulatory signals in T cells. Additionally, they promote hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in sensitized recipients and are able to induce
