Abstract

Natural anti-Gal antibodies (NAb) to Gal epitopes play a key role in the rejection of pig cells or organs transplanted into primates. We have investigated the effect on NAb return after extracorporeal immunoadsorption (EIA) of the continuous intravenous (i.v.) infusion of (i) bovine serum albumin conjugated to Gal type 6 oligosaccharides (BSA-Gal) or (ii) a poly l-lysine backbone conjugated to Gal type 2 or 6 oligosaccharides (PLL-Gal).
