Functional CD25^bright+ alloresponsive T cells in fully immunosuppressed renal allograft recipients

Abstract

CD25(bright+) T cells with immune regulatory activities against anti-donor-responsive T cells are readily detectable in renal allograft recipients during treatment with full dosage immunosuppression. Whether CD25(bright+) T cells indeed play a role in graft acceptance after organ transplantation in patients remains to be elucidated.
