There was some talk a while back about using a modified form of HIV to suppress immune response for transplant recipients. Any update on that?

- rcthompson 7y agoI don't have any specific knowledge about that. Our lab was mainly focused on diagnostics for transplant rejection, with the idea being that a quick and easy test for rejection would allow immune suppression to be adjusted more accurately and more often, since the current standard test is a tissue biopsy manually inspected by a specialist, which is not something you can do very frequently for a number of reasons.
