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...
