Abstract
The past year has witnessed the resolution of some longstanding enigmas sur rounding the immunobiology of dendritic cells, illuminating their opposing roles in peripheral tolerance and allograft rejection. Nevertheless these a dvances have posed many new questions, the answers to which may subtly infl uence our approach to the treatment of rejection while bringing ever closer the prospect of donor-specific transplanation tolerance.
