IRF4 is the marker that T- cells use to fight infections and reject transplanted organs. To date Houston, Texas Methodist University has identified this biological . Currently if you can prevent the expression of this gene, no organ rejection. I on the other hand having a background in environmental engineering wonder about a better way.
I wonder if a transplanted organ was identified as belonging to the host , will this solve the organ rejection problem.
AIDS does this. Makes factories that fool the bodies auto immune system.

Another thought, Lupus is a suped up immune system. If a person with lupus was given say something like the aides virus. Would the lupus immune system beat it?
