The invention provides, for the first time, strategies to inhibit the killing of transplanted cells by activated polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) of the recipient. Multiple different modes for PMN inhibition are provided and one or more agents effectively utilized every mode of action. The combination of two or more of those agents with different modes of action synergistically improved the efficacy of PMN inhibition without exerting toxic side effects on the survival of the target cells. The cells may be pluripotent cells, including hypoimmune pluripotent cells (HIP), ABO blood type O Rhesus Factor negative HIP cells (HIPO−), or derivatives thereof. The cells may also be alpha 1 antitrypsin (A1AT) secreting cells.

The present disclosure relates to methods for treating patients having autoimmune diseases, e.g., methods for treating psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), e.g., non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) or ankylosing spondylitis (AS), using IL-17 antagonists, e.g., IL-17 antibodies, such as secukinumab. Also disclosed herein are methods for inhibiting the progression of structural damage in PsA and axSpA patients using IL-17 antagonists, e.g., IL-17 antibodies, such as secukinumab. The present disclosure also provides medicaments, pharmaceutical formulations, dosage forms, and kits for use in the disclosed methods.
