Intrasplenic Liver Parenchymal Cells in Conjunction with Low-Dose Rapamycin and Cyclosporine Induce a Unique and Specific Prolongation of Rat Cardiac and Small Bowel Allograft Survival

These experiments investigated the immunosuppressive properties of liver tissue. Brown Norway (BN; RT1 n ) rat heart allografts survived in untreated control Wistar Furth (WFu; RTl u ) rat recipients for 6.2 ± 1.5 days, while allografts in animals that received rapamycin (RAPA) 0.0075 mg/kg/day and...
