Long-term tolerance of islet allografts in nonhuman primates induced by apoptotic donor leukocytes

Injection of donor apoptotic cells induces graft tolerance in mice. Here the authors combine this approach with short immunosuppressive therapy to achieve long-term tolerance to allogeneic islets and restoration of normoglycemia in diabetic nonhuman primates, and delineate cellular and molecular cor...
