Abstract
The cryopreservation of living human tissues and organs for transplantation is the next major challenge for cyrobiologists. But all the ingenuity and success that could be wished for will be of little practical utility until the obstacles of allograft rejection have been overcome and non-life-saving transplants can be performed without the major hazards of present-day immunosuppression.
Part of this study was supported by a grant from the G. Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Charitable Foundation and National Institutes of Health Grant BSRG 2S07 RR 05737.
