The protective mechanisms comprise cellular as well as humoral components. Combined liver transplantation leads to distinct changes in the circulation of the recipient with preponderance of immune cell populations with immunoregulatory properties. On the other hand, the liver allograft itself induces the release of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and immunoregulatory HLA-G. Created with BioRender.com. IDO, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase; HLA-G, human leukocyte antigen G; IL-10, interleukin-10.
