Abstract
4 hour ex vivo xenoperfusions of porcine livers with human blood after antibody depletion by immunoapheresis revealed an improval of liver i ntegrity and function compared to controls. Hence, an application of t his method in several fields of xenotransplantation, especially in the therapeutic use of extracorporeal pig liver perfusion, for prolonging graft survival appears promising.
