Description

Transplant tolerance may get stabler soldiers: Arimelek Cortés-Hernández and colleagues describe in 2026 a recipe for growing donor-specific regulatory T cells that keep their identity. Such cells are rare in blood, hard to purify, and prone to drift during long expansion, which has stalled their clinical use.

The protocol first grows regulatory T cells with donor dendritic cells plus interleukin-15, interleukin-2, and retinoic acid, then sorts the CD25+CD27+CD70− subset and expands it with antibody stimulation, rapamycin, and TGF-β. Three weeks yielded a 434-fold expansion at over 95% purity, with the FOXP3 stability marker largely demethylated. The cells suppressed T cell growth in a donor-specific way even after inflammatory challenge and made none of the inflammatory cytokines that signal drift. Cortés-Hernández and colleagues nominate them for long-term transplant tolerance therapy.
