Abstract | Attempts to induce tolerance though mixed hematopoietic chimerism in the discordant pig-to-baboon xenotransplantation model are sometimes complicated by a potentially fatal thrombotic microangiopathy in the recipient baboons. This state develops immediately after the infusion of porcine mobilized peripheral blood leukocytes, containing progenitor cells (PBPC). In our study, we examined the interaction of infused porcine PBPC with recipient platelets in vivo in baboons and investigated the underlying mechanisms using an in vitro model. | |
