Tacrolimus (TAC) and sirolimus (SRL), two commonly used immunosuppressive agents, have demonstrated contrasting immunoregulatory effects. We recently described factors affecting the generation of allospecific CD4CD25 forkhead/winged helix transcription factor P3 (FOXP3) T-regulatory (Treg) cells in mixed lymphocyte reaction (Treg MLR) and now report additional findings on the effects of TAC and SRL.
