## Background: The liver may play a role in peripheral tolerance, by serving as a site for trapping, apoptosis and phagocytosis of activated T cells. It is not known which hepatic cells are involved in these processes. We hypothesized that liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) which are strateg

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) may be implicated in the induction of liver allograft rejections. We studied the clinical consequences of LSEC-reactive antibodies and their functional capacity in modulating T-cell responses during acute rejections. Pre-and posttransplant sera and T lympho
Targeting of cells to specific tissues is critical for cell therapy. To study endothelial cell targeting, we isolated mouse liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) and examined cell biodistributions in animals. To identify transplanted LSEC in tissues, we labeled cells metabolically with DiI-conju
