Embryonic stem cells and their differentiated derivatives have a fragile immune privilege but still represent novel targets of immune attack.
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) offer an attractive potential in cell replacement therapy and regenerative medicine because of their inherent plasticity and ability to self-renew. However, the immunological response against transplanted ESC-derived allografts requires further evaluation. In this study,...
