A Cannabinoid 2-Selective Agonist Inhibits Allogeneic Skin Graft Rejection In Vivo
Key Findings: Using mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) as a model of organ and skin graft rejection in mice found that exposure to CB2 selective agonists prolongs skin graft rejection time, and presents a potential therapeutic target in organ transplant rejection prevention and autoimmune conditions.
