Recent advances in xenotransplantation.

M S Sandrin1, I F McKenzie.   

Abstract

The major barrier to clinically successful pig-to-human xenotransplantation is antibody- and complement-dependent hyperacute rejection, known to be due to host anti-Galalpha(1,3)Gal antibodies. Strategies aimed at eliminating hyperacute rejection involve transgenic approaches to eliminate or reduce expression of Galalpha(1,3)Gal or to reduce complement activation; some of these are now in clinical trials in primates. Another important role of Galalpha(1,3)Gal that is becoming more evident is in antibody-dependent and -independent xenograft rejection that is mediated by natural killer cells and monocytes.
