Abstract

The ability of adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) to facilitate long-term allograft survival was investigated. ASC and bone marrow cell (BMC) coinfusion with minimal conditioning led to stable lymphoid and myeloid macrochimerism, deletion of alloreactive T cells, expansion of regulatory T cells, and long-term allograft survival (>200 days). Translational advanced vascular composite allotransplants with ASCs and low-dose donor BMCs in nonhuman primates can be developed to enhance functional outcomes and eliminate long-term immunosuppression.
