RECOGNITION OF PORCINE MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX CLASS I ANTIGENS BY HUMAN CD8+ CYTOLYTIC T CELL CLONES1
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the nature of the human cellular immune response to porcine xenoantigens, cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) cell lines were generated against porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAEC). After four stimulations, the phenotypes of the T cell lines were primarily CD8+ (79.7+/-19.6%). Natural killer cells were not detected. Functional analysis of the T cell lines showed specific cytotoxicity against syngeneic...
