Immunobiology in VCA.
Transplant International 2016 June
Transplantation of vascularized composite tissue is a relatively new field that is an amalgamation of experience in solid organ transplantation and reconstructive plastic and orthopedic surgery. What is novel about the immunobiology of VCA is the addition of tissues with unique immunologic characteristics such as skin and vascularized bone, and the nature of VCA grafts, with direct exposure to the environment, and external forces of trauma. VCAs are distinguished from solid organ transplants by the requirement of rigorous physical therapy for optimal outcomes and the fact that these procedures are not lifesaving in most cases. In this review, we will discuss the immunobiology of these systems and how the interplay can result in pathology unique to VCA as well as provide potential targets for therapy.
