Interesting. I wonder if it would be possible to use this to help transplant patients get off immune-suppression drugs? I'm sure there would be a number of antigens that would need targeting, but if A) this works in humans at all and B) scientists are able to figure out the antigens for transplants, that would probably revolutionize transplants!
