Abstract excerpt
Experimental studies have shown that rabbit antithymocyte polyclonal globulin (ATG) can expand human CD4+CD25++Foxp3+ cells (Tregs). We investigated the major biological effects of a self-manufactured rabbit polyclonal anti-rat thymoglobulin (rATG) in vitro, as well as its effects on different peripheral T-cell subsets. Moreover, we evaluated the allogeneic suppressive capacity of rATG-induced Tregs in an...
