Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of selectively generating tolerogenic dendritic cells. The present invention further relates to patient-specific tolerogenic dendritic cells obtained by the described methods which reduce immunogenicity of a transplant when administered prior to transplantation. The present invention also relates to patient-specific tolerogenic dendritic cells for use in reducing or preventing inflammatory conditions such as graft-versus-host disease. Specifically, the methods can be used to reduce graft versus host disease. The tolerogenic dendritic cells of the present invention can also be used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for reducing or eliminating reactive T cells from a transplant or a part thereof prior to transplantation. The present invention also relates to methods for reducing immunogenicity in a transplant or a part thereof prior to transplantation. The present invention further relates to transplants obtained by the described methods and apoptotic agent treated transplants for use in reducing or preventing inflammatory conditions such as graft-versus-host disease. Specifically, the methods can be used to reduce graft versus host disease following transplantation.
