Multiple donor allotransplantation. A new approach to pancreatic islet transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Humanized Fc receptor (FcR)-nonbinding antibodies against CD3 are promising immunosuppressive agents that may overcome both the neutralizing response to and the cytokine release syndrome seen with conventional monoclonal antibodies against CD3. In addition, evidence from several murine models suggests that t...
