Spleen transplantation
text:
Spleen transplantation is the transfer of spleen or its fragments from one individual to another. It is under research for induction of immunological tolerance for other transplanted organs. Success has been achieved in rodent models. Recently, evidence has been obtained for a tolerogenic effect of a spleen transplant in miniature swine. Also, the spleen harbors primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells. Spleen transplantation has been performed on humans with mixed results.
