Zusammenfassung:A biological product for clinical xenotransplantation into a human and a method of preparing biological product for clinical xenotransplantation into a human involving producing a non-wild type, biologically engineered swine having a biologically engineered genome such that the swine does not express one or more extracellular surface glycan epitopes, is free of certain pathogens, is reared according to a bioburden-reducing procedure in a closed designated pathogen free herd, wherein the biological product is harvested following the swine being euthanized and the product is aseptically removed from the swine, the biological product is processed involving sterilization and storing the product in a sterile container, and the product does not contain one or more extracellular surface glycans, is free of certain designated pathogens, is biologically active and comprises live cells and tissues capable of vascularizing after xenotransplantation.
