Experimental Xenotransplantation in Rodents — II: Skin Versus Heart Grafts

  • Chapter
Xenotransplantation

Abstract

When studying xenotransplantation in a small animal model, one has a choice between two different types of models. In one, rejection of the graft takes place within minutes after transplantation — so-cahed hyperacute rejection. In the other type, rejection takes more time — usually 3-5 days — and is generally referred to as accelerated acute rejection as it occurs some days earlier than the acute graft rejection seen in allogeneic transplantation.
