The antigenicity of skin is a major obstacle to expanding human composite tissue transplantation. For example, multiple rejection episodes of the skin have been noted in clinical hand transplant patients. We have previously demonstrated tolerance to vascularized musculoskeletal allografts in major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-matched miniature swine treated with 12 days of cyclosporine. This regimen did not reproducibly lead to tolerance to subsequent frozen donor skin grafts. However, such skin grafts did not have a primary vascular supply. The aim of this study was to determine if tolerance to limb allografts with a vascularized skin component could be achieved with MHC matching and a 12-day course of immunosuppression.
