One hundred seventy-eight patients (85 males, 93 females) with a median age of 40 years alive on day þ 100 after HCT with myeloablative (n ¼ 110) or reduced-intensity (n ¼ 68) conditioning and a related (n ¼ 37) or unrelated (n ¼ 141) stem cell donor were enrolled into the study. Using a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen followed by donor bone marrow (DBM) transplantation, we observed successful production of mixed chimerism in non-human primate renal allograft recipients, followed by normal kidney function with no evidence of chronic rejection for periods as long as thirteen years after discontinuing all I.S. In vitro studies of these recipients as well as of humans suggest that both central (clonal deletion) and peripheral (regulatory cells) mechanisms are involved. ./cache/cord-015365-iqdi99pd.txt ./txt/cord-015365-iqdi99pd.txt
