چکیده

the introduction of ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) in the practice of lung transplantation has allowed the reconditioning of the marginal grafts and their conversion into transplantable grafts. in addition, evlp can provide a platform for the application of various preventive measures to decrease the incidence of post-transplant complications. while the toronto team targets the attenuation of the cytokine production within the graft through gene therapy to up-regulate il-10, other measures could be applied to achieve significant attenuation of the cytokine load of the graft. this manuscript provides a short overview on the importance of the attenuation of the cytokine production within the transplanted lung grafts and some possible strategies to achieve this goal.

Immunology, kidney transplantation

The first successful kidney transplant was performed 25 years ago. Since then in many centers throughout the world, renal transplantation has become the preferred alternative for patients with end-stage renal disease. While many transplant patients (whether they received kidneys from living relatives or cadaveric donors) have enjoyed a very active and productive life, others have been less fort...

Immunology of liver transplantation.

In comparison with other solid-organ transplants, liver allografts are immunologically privileged. Allografts are rejected by immune reactions of the host, and clinical therapy for liver allografts includes immunosuppression to prevent rejection. Orthotopic liver transplant causes systemic donor-specific T-cell tolerance. In addition, antigens introduced into hepatocytes or the portal vein caus...
