Competing Interests
Paolo Fiorina is a co-author of this paper and he is currently an academic editor for PLOS ONE. However, the authors would like also to re-assure the Editorial Board that this did not alter their adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. Genzyme as a commercial source and funder. Genzyme provided us with the major compound tested in this paper, the murine anti-thymocyte globulin (mATG). This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
