Objective:
To introduce the research progress in the immune of composite tissue allotransplantation.
Methods:
The related articles were reviewed to summarize the immune characteristics, experimental developments, and clinical experiences of composite tissue allotransplantation. Results Composite allogeneic tissue is on the body surface, including the composition of the complex with high antigenicity. There are a lot of differences in the immune responses between composite tissue allotransplantation and organ transplantation, such as immunosuppressant protocol, rejection diagnosis, and chronic rejection.
Conclusion:
In the next study, it is urgently needed to learn these experiences and to establish the special standard of composite tissue allotransplantation in induction of immune tolerance, local medication, and rejection diagnosis.
