Failure patterns of cryopreserved vein grafts in liver transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There are limited experimental data on the nature of the humoral response elicited in humans against pig antigens. In this study, we have examined the xenoantibody (XAb) response in eight patients with acute liver failure exposed to pig hepatocytes after treatment with the bioartificial liver (BAL). METHODS...
