Suppression of Human T-Cell Activation and Expansion of Regulatory T Cells by Pig Cells Overexpressing PD-Ligands
15 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic modification of pigs (e.g., transgenic expression of human complement regulatory molecules or inactivation of alpha1,3galactosyltransferase) enabled the development of promising strategies to overcome hyperacute rejection after pig-to-primate xenotransplantation. However, cellular rejection still remains a hurdle for successful xenograft survival. This report tested the hypothesis that...
