Proteomic Identification of Pig Xenoantigens for Clinical Xenotransplantation.

Article D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

Researchers hunted for the pig proteins that a human immune system would attack after a pig-organ transplant. Finding these targets could help make pig organs safer to use in people. This work was done in the lab, not in people, so it is an early step.
