Abstract
Despite advancements in short-term outcomes since the inception of intestinal transplant, significant long-term graft failure persists. Early successes are attributed to the utilization of tacrolimus for maintenance therapy, coupled with T-cell modulating induction regimens, which effectively reduce the incidence of acute cellular rejection. However, the challenge of chronic allograft injury remains unresolved. There is increasing evidence indicating a correlation between donor-specific antibodies and the survival of visceral allografts. Strategies aimed at reducing the presence or load of these antibodies may potentially enhance long-term outcomes. Consequently, our focus is now turning toward B-cell induction therapies as a possible solution.
