Virtual HLA Crossmatching as a Means to Safely Expedite Transplantation of Imported Pancreata.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recent data show the efficacy of embryonic stem cells (ESC) to engraft in allogeneic recipients without host pretreatment. This property is due to their low expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens and lack of MHC class II expression. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the const...

abstract：:Allotransplantation into immunosuppressed individuals results in long-term survival of grafts. However, the grafts are damaged, probably at many stages before, during and after implantation. The hypothesis to be presented is that release of antigens and autoantigens from the chronically damaged graft results in breaki...

If a strong and pure Th2 response could be engaged to alloantigens in adult mice, it might result in allograft tolerance. In an attempt to induce Th2 immunity in adults, we studied the T-cell response to peptide I-A bet...
