Scientists have developed a procedure which may help end the need for transplant patients to rely on powerful anti-rejection drugs.
The complex procedure involves mixing the patient's infection-fighting white blood cells with cells from the donor.
One patient went eight months without immunosuppressive drugs and others were switched to low doses.
The study, by Germany's University of Schleswig-Holstein, appears in Transplant International.
