Address by the Honorary Founding President of the Xenotransplantation Society. The eye of an eagle: xenobiology and the quest for bioadvantage.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ubiquitous expression of T-cell regulatory transgenes such as the cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) or the high-affinity variant LEA29Y improves xeno graft survival. Such donor pigs are however immunocompromised and susceptible to infection. Continous high expression of CTLA4 or LEA29Y in t...

abstract：:Acute humoral rejection remains the major barrier to long-term pig-to-primate xenograft survival, and microvascular thrombosis is a critical element of the rejection process. It appears that persistent endothelial cell activation and injury, by even low levels of anti-graft antibodies, eventually overwhelm the cellula...
