Abstract

Our ability to harness tolerance mechanisms will have a major impact in organ transplantation. It should enable drug minimization, and eventually, the elimination of all immunosuppressive drugs. An improved understanding of the biology of regulatory T cells will make it possible to replace current induction regimens with those favouring the selective vaccination of T cells that prevent graft rejection. Once regulation is established, the continued supply of graft antigens should empower T cell regulation to become the dominant natural mechanism to prevent graft rejection.
