Immune Monitoring for Advanced Cell Therapy Trials in Transplantation: Which Assays and When?

A number of immune regulatory cellular therapies, including regulatory T cells and mesenchymal stromal cells, have emerged as novel alternative therapies for the control of transplant alloresponses. Clinical studies have demonstrated their feasibility and safety, however developing our understanding...
