Are there advantages in the use of specific pathogen‐free baboons in pig organ xenotransplantation models? [PDF]
Xenotransplantation, 2014 AbstractBaboons have natural antibodies against pig antigens. We have investigated whether there are differences in anti‐non‐Gal pig antibody levels between baboons maintained under specific pathogen‐free (SPF) conditions and those housed under conventional conditions (non‐SPF) that might be associated with improved outcome after pig‐to‐baboon organ ...
