RISET Consortium partners have contributed to a major research finding in Kidney Transplantation -

Transplant tolerance ‘signature' identified

A team of researchers across Europe have identified a ‘full set' of immunological markers in the blood, which could be used to predict whether an individual's kidney transplant will be a long term success or whether it will fail.  It is hoped that the research will lead to doctors being able to deliver more personalised care to kidney transplant patients in future, by safely modifying the amount of medication patients take while preventing rejection of the donor organ.

Several sources of funding have allowed this project to be completed: the European Commission through the Indices of Tolerance Consortium (5th Framework Programme) and RISET (Reprogramming the Immune System for the Establishment of Tolerance, 6th Framework Programme),   the Immune Tolerance Network, Medical Research Council, Guy's and St Thomas' Charity, National Institute for Health Research, and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. ...................
