Once you find the correct cadaver donor kidney, then it's a function of, how are we going to protect that kidney from your immune system, because you're not a Siamese twin. And so we do that with medication. The medication will be. First one was cyclosporine A. And then we'll just say steroids. So you give those two medications in enough amount, and it blocks or blunts the immune response. It doesn't completely eliminate it, but it allows the kidney to heal, start to function, and as long as you monitor it and keep their immune system suppressed, that kidney will work. That patient will not need dialysis for all intents and purposes, and they can go on with their life.
