Microbiological safety of the first clinical pig islet xenotransplantation trial in New Zealand.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Intravascular thrombosis and systemic coagulation abnormalities are major hurdles to successful xenotransplantation and are signs of acute humoral rejection. Increased expression of tissue factor (TF) is associated with the development of microvascular thrombosis in xenografts. To develop an effective strate...
