New experimental protocols for the induction of transplantation tolerance continue to be developed. In the past year, encouraging data have been reported from a clinical trial using a protocol specifically designed to induce tolerance to the histocompatibility antigens of the kidney donor. Progress
Reciprocal cell traffic between mother and fetus during pregnancy gives rise to postpartum fetal-maternal lymphohematopoietic microchimerism, which is frequently detected in blood or tissue from healthy individuals. Although such microchimerism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune d

However, accurate identification of these recipients remains a challenge. To design a clinically applicable mo
