Induction of reverse chimerism in renal allografts by mobilizing host stem cells from the bone marrow enables long-term graft acceptance in animal models, say Zhaoli Sun and colleagues. These researchers previously showed that the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 and low-dose tacrolimus act synergistically to mobilize autochthonous
