Donor Brain Death Affects Tolerance Induction in Non-Human Primates

Induction of durable allograft acceptance in combined heart/kidney transplantation in non-human primates is possible by applying a mixed chimerism-based conditioning protocol. However, the impact of donor brain death on tolerance induction is unclear. To gain insight on these clinically relevant donor characteristics, we investigated whether donor brain death impacts allograft acceptance in combined heart/kidney transplantation.
