Core Tip	The liver is considered an immune privileged organ. The main challenge facing liver transplantation is to induce donor-specific tolerance. Numerous reports have documented the phenomenon of microchimerism in liver transplant recipients. Most have demonstrated that higher levels of chimerism in liver transplantation are associated with reduced incidence of acute rejection and better initial graft acceptance. Mechanisms involved in chimerism-induced tolerance have only been partly elucidated. Chimerism can be induced through transplantation of allogeneic donor bone marrow cells under appropriate host conditioning and represents a clinically feasible approach for the induction of durable liver transplantation tolerance.
