Patent Claims:1. A method of inhibiting an immune response in a subject who has received or will receive a cell, tissue, or organ transplant, wherein said method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of i) an agent which inhibits interaction between CD200 and CD200R and ii) an immunosuppressive .[.or.]. drug, wherein the agent is an anti-CD200 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, exhibiting reduced effector function.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said immune response is a humoral response.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein said immune response is an antibody mediated response.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein said agent has no effector function.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein said immunosuppressive drug is cyclosporine A or rapamycin.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said anti-CD200 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, is selected from the group consisting of: a human antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a primatized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a chimeric antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a murine antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, and a de-immunized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said antigen-binding fragment is selected from the group consisting of: single-chain antibody, Fab, Fab', F(ab').sub.2, F(ab').sub.3, Fd, Fv, domain antibody, and any fragment of an anti-CD200 immunoglobulin that confers specific binding to CD200.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein said immunosuppressive drug is a calcineurin inhibitor.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein said calcineurin inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of tacrolimus and cyclosporine A.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein said immunosuppressive drug is selected from the group consisting of: adriamycin, azathiopurine, busulfan, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine A, fludarabine, 5- fluorouracil, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, sirolimus (rapamycin), and tacrolimus (FK-506).

11. The method of claim 1, wherein said immunosuppressive drug is an antibody selected from the group consisting of: muromonab-CD3, alemtuzumab, basiliximab, daclizumab, rituximab, and anti-thymocyte globulin.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein said subject is human.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein said method prevents graft rejection or promotes graft survival.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein said method comprises administering to said subject said agent and said drug prior to receiving said .[.allograft.]. .Iadd.cell, tissue or organ transplant.Iaddend..

15. The method of claim 1, wherein said agent is administered i) prior to said drug, ii) subsequently to said drug, or iii) simultaneously with said drug.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein said method comprises administering said agent during a rejection episode of said .[.allograft.]. .Iadd.cell, tissue or organ transplant.Iaddend..

17. The method of claim 13, wherein said graft rejection is an acute or a chronic humoral rejection of a grafted cell, tissue, or organ.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein said subject is a recipient of a hematopoietic cell or bone marrow transplant, an allogeneic transplant of pancreatic islet cells, or a solid organ transplant selected from the group consisting of: a heart, a kidney-pancreas, a kidney, a liver, a lung, and a pancreas.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein said method results in a decrease in the production of anti-donor antibodies.

20. The method of claim 13, wherein said graft rejection is an acute graft rejection in a graft recipient of cell, tissue or organ allo- or xenotransplant.

21. The method of claim 13, wherein said graft rejection is a chronic graft rejection in a graft recipient of cell, tissue or organ allo- or xenotransplant.

22. The method of claim 1, wherein said method promotes long-term graft survival, wherein said long-term graft survival is selected from the group consisting of: (a) at least 6 months post transplant; (b) at least 1 year post transplant; and (c) at least 5 years post transplant.

23. The method of claim 22, wherein said method promotes accommodation of the graft.

24. The method of claim 1, wherein said agent is administered systemically.

25. The method of claim 1, wherein said agent is administered locally.

26. The method of claim 1, wherein said immune response is a primary response.

27. The method of claim 1, wherein said immune response is a secondary response.

28. A method of decreasing what constitutes an effective amount of an immunosuppressive .[.or.]. drug administered to a subject who has received or will receive an allograft, said method comprising administering to said subject i) said immunosuppressive .[.or immunomodulatory.]. drug and ii) an anti-CD200 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof which inhibits interaction between CD200 and CD200R and exhibits reduced effector function, wherein less of said drug is required to effect immunosuppression .[.or immunomodulation.]. as compared to administering said drug without said anti-CD200 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.

29. The method of claim 28 wherein said drug is cyclosporine A or rapamycin.

30. A method of inhibiting rejection of an allograft in an allograft recipient during a rejection episode, said method comprising administering to said allograft recipient an effective amount of an anti-CD200 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof which inhibits interaction between CD200 and CD200R and exhibits reduced effector function, wherein rejection of said allograft is inhibited.

.Iadd.31. The method of claim 1, wherein said cell, tissue or organ transplant is an allograft. .Iaddend.

.Iadd.32. The method of claim 1, wherein said anti-CD200 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof exhibits: (a) no ADCC activity, (b) no CDC activity, or (c) no ADCC activity and no CDC activity. .Iaddend.
