Relationship of transitional regulatory B and regulatory T cells and immunosuppressive drug doses in stable renal transplant recipients

Abstract Objectives Regulatory B cells (Bregs) and T cells (Tregs) are thought to be involved in the regulation of graft acceptance in renal transplant recipients. However, mechanisms that affect Breg differentiation and interaction with Tregs are rather unclear. Methods Using eight‐color‐fluorescen...
