Abstract The induction of tolerance to pig antigens in primates may facilitate the development of successful clinical xenotransplantation protocols. The infusion of mobilized porcine peripheral blood leukocytes (PBPCs, comprised of approximately 2% peripheral blood progenitor cells) into splenectomized preconditioned baboons, intended to induce mixed hematopoietic cell chimerism, however, results in a severe thrombotic microangiopathy (TM) that includes pronounced thrombocytopenia. Because the mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are unclear, we have explored the effects of individual components of the conditioning regimen, of therapeutic adjuncts, and of PBPCs on platelet aggregation.
