Proteomic Identification of Pig Xenoantigens for Clinical Xenotransplantation.

Article D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

Scientists used protein-mapping tools to find the pig molecules that a human immune system would attack after a pig-kidney transplant. Knowing these targets could help make pig organs safer to put into people. This was lab work on pig tissue, not a test in patients.
