Abstract excerpt
Engraftment of IL-6 deficient donor into wild-type recipient could significantly improve allograft survival through T cell lineage particularly regulatory T cells (Tregs) in non-sensitized transplant host. However, its effect on innate immune responses remains uncertain. Our data revealed that donor IL-6 deficiency significantly increased infiltration of two subsets of MDSCs (CD11b+Gr1+myeloid-derived suppressor...
