Cultured mouse keratinocyte allografts prime for accelerated second set rejection and enhanced cytotoxic lymphocyte response.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The current shortage of organ donors has led many centers to use marginal and nonheart-beating donors (NHBDs). Recent research has implicated the infiltration of lymphocytes as an important mediator of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). FTY720 is an immunosuppressant that promotes lymphocyte sequestration in...
