Acute rejection is associated with antibodies to non-Gal antigens in baboons using gal-knockout pig kidneys
Article Abstract:
A study to show that acute rejection is associated with antibodies to non-Gal antigens in baboons using Gal-knockout pig kidneys is presented. The data suggests that antibodies to non-Gal antigens will present an additional barrier to transplantation of organs from alpha 1, 3-galactosyltransferase knockout (GalT-KO) pigs to humans.
