Hyperacute rejection of porcine organs by old world primate recipients is mediated through preformed antibodies against galactosyl-alpha-1,3-galactose (Galalpha-1,3-Gal) epitopes expressed on the pig cell surface. Previously, we generated inbred miniature swine with a null allele of the alpha-1,3...
