Abstract
Advances in solid-organ allograft have depended in great measure on the development of improved means of suppressing the immune system of the recipient. This article presents an overview of the major forms of immunosuppression used in organ transplantation, specifically corticosteroids, azathioprine, antilymphocyte and antithymocyte globulin and cyclosporine, monoclonal antibody to the T3 receptor on lymphocytes, and blood transfusions.
