Hearts from transgenic pigs constructed with CD59/DAF genomic clones demonstrate improved survival in primates
1 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
We have previously created transgenic pigs bearing the human complement regulatory proteins CD59 and decay-accelerating factor (DAF) by either the intercellular transfer or the cDNA transgenic method. To achieve more physiologic protein expression, we constructed a new line of transgenic pigs with CD59 and DAF human genomic clones. We transplanted these CD59/DAF transgenic pig hearts into baboons immunosuppressed...
