Comparison of hematologic, biochemical, and coagulation parameters in α1,3‐galactosyltransferase gene‐knockout pigs, wild‐type pigs, and four primate species

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The increasing availability of genetically engineered pigs is steadily improving the results of pig organ and cell transplantation in non-human primates (NHPs). Current techniques offer knockout of pig genes and/or knockin of human genes. Knowledge of normal values of hematologic, biochemical, coagulation, and other parameters in healthy genetically engineered pigs and NHPs is important, particularly...
