Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released into the extracellular environment during transplantation, and acts via purinergic receptors to amplify the alloimmune response. Here, using a well-established murine model of allogeneic corneal transplantation, we investigated the immunomodulatory mechanisms of the purinergic receptor
T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation results in the influx of Ca(2+), which is buffered by mitochondria and promotes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. We found that ATP released from activated T cells through pannexin-1 hemichannels activated purinergic P2X receptors (P2XRs) to
