Specific treatment of myeloid cells is therefore an elegant way to prevent activation of the T-cell memory against the transplanted organ. However, the T-cells are initially activated by myeloid cells. If the T cells are activated by, for example, an infection or a transplant, they 'remember' it. And all this while the rest of the immune system remains active.ĭuring an organ transplant, T-cells attack the transplanted organ and so the body rejects it.

Researcher Willem Mulder and a team of internationally renowned researchers now present a nano-immunotherapy that specifically programs the right cells of the immune system in the bone marrow, even before the immune response starts. Moreover, this method has many side effects: infections and the development of cancer are no longer controlled by this paralyzed immune system. This is known as symptom control, which tries to suppress the already activated immune system.

Patients who receive an organ transplant have to take a whole series of immunosuppressive drugs every day for life afterwards to prevent rejection of the organ. He recently started a research group at TU Eindhoven on this subject. Professor Willem Mulder published these results in Immunity, the most important journal in the field of immunology.

A mouse study shows that targeted 'reprogramming' of myeloid cells successfully counteracts organ rejection without further medication. A new nano-immune therapy that programs the immune system offers hope for patients who, after an organ transplant, have to take many medications to combat rejection.
