LONG-TERM ISLET ALLOGRAFT FUNCTION IN THE ABSENCE OF CHRONIC IMMUNOSUPPRESSION: A CASE REPORT OF A NONHUMAN PRIMATE PREVIOUSLY MADE TOLERANT TO A RENAL ALLOGRAFT FROM THE SAME DONOR1

Abstract

Tolerance with a nonmyeloablative conditioning can allow successful pancreatic islet transplantation without immunosuppression. Because no histological evidence of rejection was identified, recurrent diabetes is presumed to be inadequate islet mass.
