pubmed:abstractText
The expression of galactose-alpha(1,3)galactose (Gal) on porcine cells represents a major barrier to xenotransplantation. The generation of Gal-/- pigs to overcome this barrier redirected the focus of research to other rejection mechanisms, including cellular immunity. The present in vitro study investigated (1) the adhesive interactions between human leukocyte subsets and primary endothelial cells derived from inbred Gal-/- and Gal+/+ pigs, and (2) the susceptibility of such Gal-/- porcine endothelial cells to human natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity.
