Abstract
A patient's acceptance of transplanted organs and tissues may be enhanced by treating donor specific blood with a suitable dose of ultraviolet radiation for an appropriate period of time, transfusing the irradiated blood into the patient during a suitable pretransplantation time period and then transplanting the organ or tissue into the subject. Acceptance of transplanted organs and tissues can also be enhanced by treating the organs or tissues to be transplanted with a suitable dose of ultraviolet radiation for an appropriate period of time and then transplanting the organ or tissue. Suitably irradiated donor specific blood, organs and tissues are preferred for use in transplantation.
