The potential role for regulatory T-cell therapy in vascularized composite allograft transplantation.
- Abstract:
-
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Vascularized composite allograft (VCA) transplantation restores defects to a degree not possible by conventional techniques. However, it is limited by the need for long-term immunosuppression and high rates of acute rejection directed against skin. There is therefore a need for a therapy that may shift the risk-benefit ratio in favour of VCA transplantation.
