Histopathological, Immunofluorescent, and Electron-Microscopic Features of Hyperacute Rejection in Discordant Renal Xenotransplantation

  • Chapter

Abstract

Limited availability of human organs for transplantation is the most immediate problem for the coming decade, now that organ transplantation has become a well-established treatment modality for end-stage disease of a number of sohd organs [1,3]. However, even if the survival rate has improved significantly [4], thanks to both improved techniques [5-8] and immunosuppressive therapy [9,10], a shortage of donor organs persists [11].
