SUPPRESSOR CELLS FOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF IMMUNE RESPONSES IN TRANSPLANTATION

A method of reducing an immune response to a transplant in a recipient by treating said recipient with an amount of suppressor T cells effective to reduce or inhibit host rejection of the transplant. The suppressor T cells c an be administered before, at the same time as, or after the transplant.
