pubmed:abstractText
Xenotransplantation of vascularized organs between unmodified discordant species results in hyperacute graft rejection within minutes to hours after graft reperfusion. This process is due to the presence of natural xenoreactive antibodies and complement activation, which lead to vessel injury, thrombosis, and hemorrhage. Because multiple components of the coagulation and complement cascades interact with each other, we have investigated the effects of inhibiting these systems together. The recombinant Kunitz type serine protease inhibitor (KPI-BG022) tested in these experiments inhibits factor XIIa, kallikrein, and plasmin.
