Effect of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) on primate complement-dependent cytotoxicity of genetically engineered pig cells: relevance to clinical xenotransplantation
16 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Triple-knockout (TKO) pigs may be ideal sources of organs for clinical xenotransplantation because many humans have no preformed antibody to TKO pig cells. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is widely used for severe infection or the treatment/prevention of antibody-mediated rejection in allotransplantation. Anti-pig antibodies in IVIg could be harmful in clinical xenotransplantation. It is unknown whether...
