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.
