Prevention of transplanted organ rejection

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?
