## Abstract Composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA) is the new frontier in transplantation. More than 25 hand allograft transplants have been performed worldwide, and the feasibility has been well established. The classical experimental model of CTA involves rat orthotopic hindlimb transplantati
## Abstract Tolerance is the soβcalled βHoly Grailβ of transplantation but achieving this state is proving a major challenge, particularly in the clinical settings. This tolerance state can be induced in rodent models using a variety of maneuvers. This phenomenon is classically characterized by don
## Abstract A chronic model of bowel allotransplantation is described. Endβtoβend microvascular anastomosis between superior mesenteric vessels was utilized. The recipient splenic vein was preserved to avoid postoperative pancreatitis. EuroβCollins solution was used to flush the vasculature in the
## Abstract Recent studies suggested that conversion from cyclosporine A (CsA) to antimetabolic agents protects allograft vasculopathy. However, the mechanism of this beneficial effect by the conversion therapy is not fully understood. In the present study, we investigated the effects of conversion
