Pediatric kidney transplantation using a novel protocol of rapid (6-day) discontinuation of prednisone: 2-year results.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The genetic modification of pigs is a powerful strategy that may ultimately enable successful xenotransplantation of porcine organs into humans. METHODS:Transgenic pigs were produced by microinjection of gene constructs for human complement regulatory proteins CD55 and CD59 and the enzyme alpha1,2-fucosyltr...
