Isolation of regulatory T cells in the skin of a human hand-allograft, up to six years posttransplantation

A bilateral hand allotransplantation was performed in a patient six years ago. Whereas skin is known to be highly immunogenic, grafts have been well accepted up to now. Therefore, here we investigated the putative presence of regulatory T cells in the graft. Skin biopsies were performed at different...
