Study of the microcirculation in hDAF transgenic rat livers xenoperfused with human blood

Abstract

In our study, rat livers transgenic for hDAF were better protected against early tissue damage by perfusion with human blood, but this did not result in a longer xenograft survival.

Xenotransplantation literature update: May–October, 2009

“…Tomat et al. [35] assessed the microcirculation in livers of hDAF and wild‐type transgenic rats perfused with human blood. Male hDAF transgenic rats were xenoperfused with human blood while wild‐type rats were perfused with human or allogeneic blood.…”
