The ability of adipose‐derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) to facilitate long‐term allograft survival was investigated. ASC and bone marrow cell (BMC) coinfusion with minimal conditioning led to stable lymphoid and myeloid macrochimerism, deletion of alloreactive T cells, expansion of regulatory T cells, and long‐term allograft survival (>200 days). Translational advanced vascular composite allotransplants with ASCs and low‐dose donor BMCs in nonhuman primates can be developed to enhance functional outcomes and eliminate long‐term immunosuppression.
