Successful cross‐breeding of cloned pigs expressing endo‐β‐galactosidase C and human decay accelerating factor
1 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: For successful organ xenotransplantation, genetically engineered pigs have been actively produced. Our attention has focused on (i) reduction of alphaGal expression by its digestion enzyme, endo-beta-galactosidase C (EndoGalC), and (ii) inhibition of complement activation by human decay accelerating factor (hDAF). Cell sorting and nuclear transfer enabled the effective production of cloned pigs...
