These transplants can replace tissue defects following cancer or injury. Current research efforts are directed toward use of mixed hematopoietic chimerism to induce transplantation tolerance to VCA and toward exploring the immunologic mechanisms involved in tolerance and rejection of the skin component of the VCA.PublicationsView All Publications |
