Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pigs are an important large animal model for transplantation and a potential source of xenografts. Swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) molecules are strong mediators of alloreactive and xenoreactive immune responses. We have characterized the SLA alleles of a new pig line bred for transplantation research, the Westran (Westmead Hospital transplantation) pig, described in a companion paper. METHODS: Three...
