Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Expression of complement regulatory proteins (CRP) on pig endothelial cells (PEC) is an effective means of avoiding induction of hyperacute rejection by human sera. However, pig endogenous retrovirus (PERV) from PEC transfected with CRP may acquire resistance to human sera. This study investigated a form of transfected CRP that is easily expressed on PERV particles. METHODS: The PEC line was...
