The engrafted organ becomes a chimera as the recipient's leukocytes station themselves in the transplant. Remarkably, the recipient becomes chimeric as well, in a reverse migration involving immune cells from the graft. Interactions between donor and recipient cells are tolerogenic--a process with implications for the goal of graft acceptance with minimal immunosuppression.
植入的器官会变成嵌合体,因为受者的白细胞会在移植器官中驻留。值得注意的是,受者也会变成嵌合体,这是一个涉及来自移植物的免疫细胞的逆向迁移过程。供体细胞与受体细胞之间的相互作用具有耐受性——这一过程对于以最小免疫抑制实现移植物接受的目标具有重要意义。
