The Effect of Composite Pig Islet-Human Endothelial Cell Grafts on the Instant Blood-Mediated Inflammatory Reaction
Instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR) causes rapid islet loss in portal vein islet transplantation. Endothelial cells are known to protect against complement-mediated lysis and activation of coagulation. We tested composite pig islet–human endothelial cell grafts as a strategy to over...
