Working toward immune tolerance in lung transplantation.
Long-term allograft survival is a major challenge facing solid organ transplantation. Recent studies have shown a negative correlation between infiltration of memory T cells and allograft survival. Furthermore, blockade of leukocyte activation increases acceptance of transplanted organs, including heart, liver, and kidney. Lung allografts are associated with high rates of rejection, and therapi...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Immune Tolerance in Liver Transplantation
Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for endstage liver diseases with satisfactory clinical results. Unfortunately, adverse effects of life-long immunosuppression prevent the development of alternative strategies to achieve better long-term outcome. Achieving clinical operational tolerance is the ultimate goal in the clinical transplantation field. Around 15% of liver transplan...
متن کاملImmune privilege induced by regulatory T cells in transplantation tolerance.
Immune privilege was originally believed to be associated with particular organs, such as the testes, brain, the anterior chamber of the eye, and the placenta, which need to be protected from any excessive inflammatory activity. It is now becoming clear, however, that immune privilege can be acquired locally in many different tissues in response to inflammation, but particularly due to the acti...
متن کاملThe Crosstalk between Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells and Immune Cells: To Establish Immune Tolerance in Transplantation
Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of myeloid precursor and progenitor cells and endowed with a robust immunosuppressive activity in multiple pathophysiological conditions. Recent studies have uncovered the crosstalk between MDSCs and immune cells (i.e., natural killer cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, natural killer T cells, and regulatory T cells) and i...
متن کاملBasic Facts for Basic Science
Overall, this outstanding text should soon become recognized as the definitive reference for the diagnosis and management of ocular trauma. The tall, narrow shape of Basic Facts for Basic Science suggests that perhaps the author intended that it be put into the pocket of one's lab coat; perhaps not, but this book is certainly appropriate for the shelf of any laboratory and for the office of any...
