Mycophenolate mofetil: a promising new immunosuppressant that does not cause bone loss in the rat.

abstract：:Tolerance induction by CD45RB monoclonal antibody (mAb) in murine allograft models is associated with an alteration in the CD45RBlo/CD45RBhi T-cell ratio in favor of CD45RBlo T cells, which can function as regulatory cells and promote tolerance. It has been proposed that inversion of the CD45RBhi/CD45RBlo normal T-cel...
