摘要

The success of organ transplantation is limited by the availability of donor organs and the requirement for long-term immunosuppression. Use of animal organs would circumvent the organ shortage, and the swine is the most likely candidate to serve as donor for xenotransplantation. Establishing specific tolerance to donor organs would eliminate the need for chronic immunosuppression. Specific tolerance to transplantation antigens across major histocompatibility complex (MHC) barriers has been demonstrated by establishing mixed bone marrow chimerism in the recipient. An alternative approach to establishing chimerism is the use of gene therapy to transduce autologous bone marrow cells with a vector containing one or more MHC antigens. Previous studies in miniature swine have shown that tolerance can be established across allogeneic barriers when a single MHC antigen is shared between donor and recipient. A gene therapy approach is particularly attractive in xenotransplantation since the availability of MHC-inbred miniature swine as donors allows the use of a single vector for transferring swine MHC genes into recipient progenitor cells. In this article, we review the basics for using a gene therapy approach to achieve specific immune tolerance and describe the models being used to evaluate its efficacy in allogeneic as well as in xenogeneic organ transplantation.
