Transient complement inhibition plus T-cell immunosuppression induces long-term survival of mouse-to-rat cardiac xenografts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication after bone marrow transplantation, which may be refractory to immunosuppressive drugs. As preliminary case reports suggested that extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) using a Therakos device might be beneficial, we conducted a pilot study to assess t...
