Abstract excerpt
Current therapies in transplantation require continuous immunosuppression and do not result in transplantation tolerance. It is increasingly appreciated that CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T-cell (T(REG)) activation is pivotal for the induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance. To optimally exploit T(REG) in allograft tolerance, we investigated how to further harness their function. In vitro, CD4(+)CD25(+)T...
