Human Leukocyte Antigen I Knockdown Human Embryonic Stem Cells Induce Host Ignorance and Achieve Prolonged Xenogeneic Survival
12 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although human embryonic stem cells (hESC) have enormous potential for cell replacement therapy of heart failure, immune rejection of hESC derivatives inevitably would occur after transplantation. We therefore aimed to generate a hypoantigeneic hESC line with improved survival characteristics. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using various in vivo, nonischemic, hindlimb xenotransplant models (immunocompetent and...
