%X In this review, the authors outlined concepts and strategies to achieve immune tolerance through inducing hematopoietic chimerism after solid organ transplantation and introduced challenges and opportunities in harnessing two-way alloresponses to improve outcomes after intestinal transplantation (ITx). Next, the authors discussed the dynamics and phenotypes of peripheral blood and intestinal graft T-cell subset chimerism and their association with outcomes. The authors also summarized studies on other types of immune cells after ITx and their potential participation in chimerism-mediated tolerance. The authors further discussed strategies and future directions to promote chimerism-associated tolerance after ITx to overcome rejection and minimize immunosuppression.
