Abstract
An improved method for suppressing xenograft rejection in a host subject is disclosed. The method includes administering an immunosuppressant drug, where the drug or the amount of drug administered is, by itself, ineffective to suppress xenograft rejection. Effective xenograft suppression is achieved by also administering an ethanolic extract of Triterygium wilfordii or a purified triptolide component thereof.
