Ex vivo expansion of regulatory T cells from long-term Belatacept-treated kidney transplant patients restores their phenotype and suppressive function but not their FOXP3 TSDR demethylation status.

Abstract excerpt

We recently reported that Tregs from long-term Belatacept-treated kidney transplant patients displayed an altered phenotype and impaired suppressive function compared to Tregs from healthy controls. However, it remains unknown whether ex vivo expansion of Tregs from patients who underwent long-term immunosuppression may be feasible to be used in their treatment. In this work, Tregs from Belatacept-treated...
