[HTML][HTML] Codominant Role of Interferon‐γ–and Interleukin‐17–Producing T Cells During Rejection in Full Facial Transplant Recipients
Facial transplantation is a life‐changing procedure for patients with severe composite facial
defects. However, skin is the most immunogenic of all transplants, and better understanding
of the immunological processes after facial transplantation is of paramount importance.
Here, we describe six patients who underwent full facial transplantation at our institution,
with a mean follow‐up of 2.7 years. Seum, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and skin
biopsy specimens were collected prospectively, and a detailed characterization of their …
