Allosensitization Does Not Increase the Risk of Xenoreactivity to ??1,3-Galactosyltransferase Gene-Knockout Miniature Swine in Patients on Transplantation Waiting Lists

Abstract

Highly allosensitized patients awaiting renal transplants appear to be at no increased risk of xenosensitization over their non-sensitized cohorts, and could therefore be candidates for xenotransplantation using GalT-KO swine donors.
