Induction of class II major histocompatibility antigens on thyroid, adult pancreatic islet, and fetal proislet allografts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:To confirm the results of a number of studies conducted in Europe, the United States, and Japan, this multicenter, randomized trial compared the 12-month efficacy and safety of tacrolimus- and cyclosporine-based immunosuppressive regimens in the prevention of renal allograft rejection. METHODS:A total of 44...
