Novel therapeutic strategies for the induction of tolerance in corneal transplantation
Acta Ophthalmologica, 08/09/2012
Ritter T et al. – Local overexpression of immunomodulatory molecules is a promising approach to prevent corneal graft rejection. In addition treatment of transplanted animals with regulatory cells also modulates corneal allograft survival. These novel therapies may have the potential to be further developed towards a clinical application. [Supported by Science Foundation of Ireland (SFI 07/IN.1/B925).
