pubmed:abstractText |
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical living-related (LR) kidney transplant recipients often receive the standard regimen of immunosuppression. We wondered whether these patients should be exposed to the side effects of these drugs any longer. Safe tapering of immunosuppression should not result in rejection and high donor-directed T-cell responses. In the present study, we investigated the effect of tapering azathioprine (AZA) on T-cell reactivity.
