Regulatory T cells: potential in organ transplantation.

abstract：:Hepatic venoocclusive disease is a frequent lethal complication of bone marrow transplantation. It has also been associated with hepatic irradiation and administration of chemotherapeutic agents without BMT. The pathogenesis and therapy of VOD are unclear. The present studies were directed at developing a canine model...
