Augmentation of Recipient Adaptive Alloimmunity by Donor Passenger Lymphocytes within the Transplant

Chronic rejection of solid organ allografts remains the major cause of transplant failure. Donor-derived tissue-resident lymphocytes are transferred to the recipient during transplantation, but their impact on alloimmunity is unknown. Using mouse cardiac transplant models, we show that graft-versus-...
