Caption

This image shows a healthy human skin explant transplanted onto a humanized mouse which received human antigen-specific regulatory T cells. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the May 18, 2011, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by Dr. Pervinder Sagoo of King's College in London, UK, and colleagues, was titled, "Human Regulatory T Cells with Alloantigen Specificity Are More Potent Inhibitors of Alloimmune Skin Graft Damage than Polyclonal Regulatory T Cells."
