This review will delineate the unique liver immunobiology that has driven the recent clinical
trials to unmask spontaneous tolerance or induce tolerance for liver transplant recipients.
The emerging results of these trials over the next 5 years hold promise to reduce the burden
of lifelong immunosuppression and thereby optimize the long-term health of liver transplant
recipients.
