Recipients with In Utero Induction of Tolerance Upregulated MHC Class I in the Engrafted Donor Skin
Figure 5
TAP1 and TAP2 expression in the process of donor skin tolerization. The engraftment of donor skins in tolerant recipients, either short-term () or long-term (), enhanced the expression of TAP1 (a) rather than TAP2 (b) within donor skins. Neither TAP1 nor TAP2 was consistently upregulated within syngeneic skins after short-term () and long-term () engraftment.
