Identification of α-Gal and non-Gal Epitopes in Pig Corneal Endothelial Cells and Keratocytes by Using Mass Spectrometry

Abstract

As well as alpha-Gal epitopes, several promising non-Gal antigens were widely expressed on both pig corneal endothelial cells and keratocytes. The detailed structural information of the alpha-Gal and non-Gal epitopes would be a tremendous value to develop a new strategy for the successful corneal xenotransplantation in future.
