1. A method of treating a human patient receiving a tissue implant to achieve immunotolerance to the implant, the implant having exogenous antigens, the method comprising:
- administering a chemokine to the human patient to establish adaptive immune system treatment of the exogenous antigens as self-antigens to thereby achieve immunotolerance to the implant, the chemokine being chosen from the group consisting of CC-chemokine ligand-19 (CCL19), CC-chemokine ligand-21 (CCL21), and combinations thereof.
