Abstract

See full text

Transgenic swine in which the normal expression of .alpha.(1, 3) galactosyltransferase is prevented in at least one organ of tissue type. The absence or inactivation of this enzyme prevents the production of carbohydrate moieties having the distinctive terminal Gal.alpha.1-3Gal.beta.1-4GlcNAc epitope that is a significant factor in xenogeneic, particularly human, transplant rejection of swine grafts.
