English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology

It has previously been observed by others that murine orthotopic liver transplantation results in a high frequency of spontaneous immunologic tolerance to donor antigens. Other studies have demonstrated the tolerizing effect of introduction of alloantigen via the portal circulation(portal venous tolerance).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
  • Chirurgie
CONT

On pourrait administrer d'autres agents immunosuppresseurs, mais le mieux serait de s'affranchir d'un tel traitement et de forcer l'organisme à accepter des tissus animaux sans traitement adjuvant. Aujourd'hui, cette situation semble inaccessible, bien que l'on ait observé une tolérance immunologique spontanée chez quelques personnes qui avaient reçu des organes humains.
