Inhibition of Autophagy Prolongs Recipient Survival Through Promoting CD8+ T Cell Apoptosis in a Rat Liver Transplantation Model

Conclusions: We first showed that the inhibition of autophagy significantly prolongs liver allograft survival by accelerating the apoptosis of CD8+ T cells, which will provide a novel strategy for immune tolerance induction.
