Abstract excerpt
Elucidation of the mechanism of the immune response against transplanted porcine tissue is critical for the success of xenografting in humans. Both human T cells and NK cells recognize MHC Ags, and human receptors may bind to MHC Ags across species barriers. Molecular characterization of porcine MHC class I clones from two MHC class I loci (P1 and P14) obtained from homozygous inbred miniature swine of three...
