Experimental Xenotransplantation in Nonhuman Primates Using Distantly Related Donor Species

  • Chapter
Xenotransplantation

Abstract

As the ultimate goal of those involved in xenotransplantation is to be able to transplant organs from commonly available animals such as the pig or sheep into man, the experimental model of pig-to-nonhuman primate, probably most closely mimics the desired chnical situation. The nonhuman primate such as the baboon or rhesus monkey, represents the recipient patient and the donor animal is identical to that which would be used in the chnical arena, namely, the pig.
