    CD8+CD45RClow/- Tregs are identified as a new subset of regulatory T cells involved in promoting immune tolerance in transplantation.

  • 2

    The study utilized a rat liver transplantation model to investigate the role of CD8+ Tregs alongside CD4+Foxp3+ Tregs in immune modulation.

  • 3

    Adoptive transfer of tolerogenic dendritic cells significantly improved graft longevity in the rat liver transplantation model.

  • 4

    Higher levels of CD8+CD45RClow/- Tregs were observed in liver transplant recipients with stable graft function compared to those with acute rejection.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that CD8+CD45RClow/- Tregs may collaborate with CD4+Foxp3+ Tregs to maintain a tolerant immune environment in transplantation.
