Figure 2: Longest survival times of organ and cell xenotransplantation from pigs to non-human primates Microencapsulated pancreatic islets from wild-type pigs survive for 804 days with retransplantation, but 41 42
250 days without retransplantation. Neuronal cells from CTLA4-Ig pigs survive for 521 days. Pancreatic islets 43 from hCD46 pigs survive for 396 days. Corneas from wild-type pigs (after anterior partial keratoplasty) survive for more than 360 days (Kim MK, Seoul National University, personal communication). Hepatocytes from 44 wild-type pigs survive for 243 days with retransplantation, but 80 days without retransplantation. Heterotopic 45 46 hearts from GTKO/hCD46 pigs survive for 236 days. Kidney grafts from hCD55 pigs survive for 90 days. 47 48 Orthotopic hearts from GTKO/hCD55 pigs survive for 57 days. Livers from hCD55 pigs survive for 8 days. Lungs 14 from vWF-defi cient pigs survive for 5 days. GTKO=Pigs with knockout of gene for α-1,3-galactosyltransferase. GTKO/hCD55=GTKO pigs that also express hCD55. vWF=von Willebrand factor. GTKO/hCD46=GTKO pigs that also
express hCD46.
