Complement Activation and Hemolysis in Non-human Primates Following Transfusion of Genetically Modified Pig Red Blood Cells
11 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background: : Pig red blood cells (RBCs) are rapidly eliminated when transfused into nonhuman primates (NHPs) because of immune reactions involving antibody binding and complement activation. We assessed the relationship between post-transfusion hemolysis and complement activation. Methods: (TKO/hCD55.hCD39, N=4). Additional groups received repeated xenotransfusions (ReXTf, N=3), NHP RBC transfusions (N=3), or a...
