    Abstract Organ transplantation requires the use of immunosuppressive medications that lack antigen specificity, have many adverse side effects, and fail to induce immunological tolerance to the graft. The safe induction of tolerance to allogeneic tissue without compromising host responses to infection or enhancing the risk of malignant disease is a major goal in transplantation. One promising approach to achieve this goal is based on the concept of "negative vaccination." Vaccination (or actively acquired immunity) involves the presentation of both a foreign antigen and immunostimulatory adjuvant to the immune system to induce antigen-specific immunity. By contrast, negative vaccination, in the context of transplantation, involves the delivery of donor antigen before or after transplantation, together with a "negative adjuvant" to selectively inhibit the alloimmune response. This review will explore established and emerging negative vaccination strategies for promotion of organ or pancreatic islet transplant tolerance. These include donor regulatory myeloid cell infusion, which has progressed to early-phase clinical trials, apoptotic donor cell infusion that has advanced to nonhuman primate models, and novel nanoparticle antigen-delivery systems.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Regulatory dendritic cells (DCregs; also 'tolerogenic DCs'), innate immune cells that regulate the alloimmune response, are a novel cellular therapy for organ transplantation. Preliminary results from early-phase clinical trials in live donor kidney and liver transplantation are promising. This follows many years of research elucidating mechanisms of action and utility of DCregs. Herein, we review early-phase clinical trial observations and recent advances in the production, modification, and future-trajectory of DCreg in organ transplantation.
    Recent findings: Preclinical work has demonstrated the ability of adoptively transferred DCreg to abrogate ischemia-reperfusion injury and promote long-term allograft survival. Good Manufacturing Practice-grade DCregs have been generated in adequate numbers for early-phase trials of autologous DCregs in kidney transplantation and donor-derived DCreg in liver transplantation. These trials have demonstrated feasibility and safety, with preliminary evidence of an influence on host immune reactivity. In both kidney and liver transplantation, reduced effector CD8 + T-cells have been noted, together with other changes that may be conducive to reduced dependence on immunosuppressive therapy.
    Summary: Substantial progress has been made in bringing DCreg to clinical testing in organ transplantation. Additional clinical and mechanistic studies are now needed to further explore and garner the full potential of DCreg in organ transplantation.
