There is ongoing work in the field of "off the shelf" engineered cell therapy. Current strategies include:
- banks of products with major HLA types, so that some matching is still required, but you don't need a 1:1 donor as with bone marrow transplant
- stripping, downregulation, or ablation of proteins that coudl cause rejection (eg HLA class II)
- expression of other tolerance signals
