Tolerance induction by exosomes from immature dendritic cells and rapamycin in a mouse cardiac allograft model.

BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DCs) release bioactive exosomes that play an important role in immune regulation. Because they express low levels of class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and co-stimulatory molecules, exosomes derived from donor immature DCs (imDex) prolong allograft survival b...
