Perhaps the cyclosporine dosage is too low to make a difference, and he is relying mostly on the ATG effects.

Yes, I read the same and I'm more and more confused.
I even emailed Dr. Andrea Bacigalupo (Genoa Hospital, Italy, cientist and author on the European Protocol). I got his answer back that my husband CyA is fine at 120 mg/day. I really don't understand nor don't know what to think more.
