Therapeutic effects of a non-β cell bioartificial pancreas in diabetic mice.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) uses different strategies to escape from human host defense reactions. Previously we have observed that infection of endothelial cells with CMV in vitro leads to enhanced activity of endothelial ectonucleotidases. These ectoenzymes are responsible for hydrolysis of extracellular a...

abstract：:The complement system plays a major role in hyperacute rejection of discordant xenografts. In an immediately vascularized xenograft of a porcine organ to a primate, natural antibodies bind to the vascular endothelium of the graft, triggering activation of complement via the classical pathway. One consequence of antibo...
