CD86 Blockade in Genetically Modified Porcine Cells Delays Xenograft Rejection by Inhibiting T-Cell and NK-Cell Activation

Porcine xenografts transplanted into primates are rejected in spite of immunosuppression. Identification of the triggering mechanisms and the strategies to overcome them is crucial to achieve long-term graft survival. We hypothesized that porcine CD86 (pCD86) contributes to xenograft rejection by di...
