Cryopreservation of rat pancreatic islets: effect of ethylene glycol on islet function and cellular composition.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Current immunosuppression regimens are toxic to transplant recipients and, in many cases, acute rejection episodes occur because of escape of donor-reactive lymphocytes from the immunosuppression. T cells are the mediators of acute, cell-mediated graft damage and are hypothesized to use the CXCR3 chemokine a...
