the histology of Foxp3 expression in spleens. We assessed the dynamic changes in the number of Foxp3+ Tregs in the spleens by immunohistochemistry. Tissue sections were stained using an anti-Foxp3 monoclonal antibody. Con group POD 1: 1st day after transplantation; POD 3: 3rd days after transplantation; POD6: 6th day after transplantation; 1 D group 1+1d: 1st day after RAPA treatment in 1D group; 1+3d: 3rd day after RAPA treatment in 1D group; 1+7d: 7th day after RAPA treatment in 1D group; 1+10d: 10th day after RAPA treatment in 1D group; 3D group 3+1d: 1st day after RAPA treatment in 3D group; 3+3d: 3rd day after RAPA treatment in 3D group; 3+7d: 7th day after RAPA treatment in 3D group; 3+11d: 11th day after RAPA treatment in 3D group.
