The Immunoprotective Effect of Sertoli Cells Coencapsulated with Islet Xenografts is Not Dependent upon Fas Ligand Expression
Coencapsulation with Sertoli-enriched testicular cell fractions prolongs islet graft survival time compared with islet encapsulation alone in a highly discordant tilapia (fish)-to-mouse xenotransplantation model. Here we investigate whether Fas ligand (Fas-L) expression by testicular Sertoli cells i...
