Inhibition of the pig to human xenograft reaction, using soluble Gal alpha 1-3Gal and Gal alpha 1-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Dendritic cells (DC) can exert powerful immune stimulatory as well as regulatory functions and are therefore important tools for therapeutic strategies. Dexamethasone (Dex) was previously shown to inhibit DC maturation and to induce regulatory properties both in vitro and in vivo. Here, we investigated the i...
