A member asked:
Is it true that there are new techniques to remove antigens of donated organs to avoid rejection instead of using immunosuppressive drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not aware of any: Monoclonal antibody therapy, which blocks immune responses of key white cells (T-cell lymphocytes) is relatively new, but I am unaware of novel techniques to remove antigens from donor organs. You may want to discuss this with a large medical center transplant program if you are interested in new therapies or even in participating in a research study.
