The Role of Human Inducible Regulatory T Lymphocytes in Transplantation Tolerance
Transplant rejection results from an immune response against the donor tissue, for example, a transplanted heart. Regulatory T cells, white blood cells that dampen down the immune response, are being investigated as a potential treatment to prevent transplant rejection. This project will assess the properties of a particular subset of regulatory T cell and their contribution to transplant acceptance, which has been overlooked in previous research. The research will find out whether this subset of regulatory T cell could be used as a treatment for transplant rejection.
