Cyclosporine and FK506
Blocks lymphocyte proliferation by inhibiting guanine nucleotide synthesis in lymphocytes
Mycophenolate mofetil
Blocks lymphocyte proliferation by inhibiting IL-2 signaling
Rapamycin
Depletes T cells by binding to CD3 and promoting phagocytosis or complement-mediated lysis (used to treat acute rejection)
Anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody
Inhibits T cell proliferation by blocking IL-2 binding; may also opsonize and help eliminate activated IL-2R-expressing T cells
