Expression of Human CD46 Modulates Inflammation Associated With GalTKO Lung Xenograft Injury
Evaluation of lungs from GalTKO.hCD46 pigs, genetically modified to lack the galactose‐α(1,3)‐galactose epitope (GalTKO) and to express human CD46, a complement regulatory protein, has not previously been described. Physiologic, hematologic and biochemical parameters during perfusion with heparinize...

Zusammenfassung: | Evaluation of lungs from GalTKO.hCD46 pigs, genetically modified to lack the galactose‐α(1,3)‐galactose epitope (GalTKO) and to express human CD46, a complement regulatory protein, has not previously been described. Physiologic, hematologic and biochemical parameters during perfusion with heparinized fresh human blood were measured for 33 GalTKO.hCD46, GalTKO (n = 16), and WT pig lungs (n = 16), and 12 pig lungs perfused with autologous pig blood. Median GalTKO.hCD46 lung survival was 171 min compared to 120 for GalTKO (p = 0.27) and 10 for WT lungs (p |
