Site-Specific Immunosuppression in Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation: Prospects and Potential
Skin is the most immunogenic component of a vascularized composite allograft (VCA) and is the primary trigger and target of rejection. The skin is directly accessible for visual monitoring of acute rejection (AR) and for directed biopsy, timely therapeutic intervention, and manage...
