The study of transplant immunology is very reliant on the use of small animal models. Because of the ability to utilize many different strain combinations and the ability to attain a high throughput in a relatively short time. Such models have greatly advanced our knowledge and understanding of the immune system as it relates to transplantation.
There is always a need for updated and more detailed and focused research models. The intention of this Research Topic is to bring together as many of the current, novel models being used today to further our understanding of transplantation immunology.
Specific themes being sought include the use of novel surgical techniques and experimental models. What is the "latest and greatest" research model that advances our research into transplant immunology.
Keywords:
Transplant, Immunology, Research Models, Translational, Allogeneic, Xenogeneic, Rejection, Tolerance
