Nevertheless, acute and chronic rejection, graft versus host disease, and the inability to identify suitable donors continue to be challenges and limit broader application of cell and organ transplantation to the many patients that could benefit. Immunosuppression before and after allogeneic transplant has been found to dramatically improve allograft survival and, despite side effects, has been a mainstay of patient management. Inducing donor-specific tolerance is the holy grail in allotransplantation and is readily established in experimental animals but has been difficult to achieve in patients in settings apart from hematopoietic cell transplantation. Antibody-based conditioning to prepare the recipient is a promising approach towards achieving transplant tolerance in both hematopoietic and solid organ transplant settings, and multiple targets are currently under consideration including those on circulating lymphocytes and hematopoietic stem cells. Here we review progress in the use of antibodies to support cell and tissue transplantation with a particular focus on induction of donor-specific tolerance for solid organ transplantation.
