Abstract
The blood groups of pigs are important to transplantation research because some are also important transplantation antigens and because pigs undergoing organ or hematopoietic transplantation may require transfusion support. There is considerable literature on the subject but much of it is not in transplant related journals. We will review this literature and also give some practical advice on transfusion support.Entities:
