Abstract
In 1985, our group began a series of literature searches, in vitro testing, and extracorporeal experiments on antibody removal, which, coupled with deductions made from this work, led us to connect a pig kidney to the arteriovenous shunt of a patient awaiting renal transplantation. It is the series of events that led up to this experiment and its outcome which form the subject of this chapter.
