We have previously reported successful induction of tolerance of allogeneic islets by transplantation of islets as a form of composite islet-kidney in preclinical MHC inbred miniature swine while all islets were rejected when islets were injected as islet cell transplantation. This study aimed to determine whether vascularized islets have the ability to induce tolerance without renal graft.
