Title of abstract : Human retinal pigment epithelial cell (hRPEC) cotransplants protect mouse fetal ventral mesencephalic striatal xenografts from immune rejection and enhance graft survival
Abstract text:
Striatal xenotranplants require systemic immunosuppression to prevent immune rejection that is associated with significant morbidity. We have previously shown that striatal xenotransplants [...]
