One-Step Generation of Multiple Gene-Edited Pigs by Electroporation of the CRISPR/Cas9 System into Zygotes to Reduce Xenoantigen Biosynthesis

Xenoantigens cause hyperacute rejection and limit the success of interspecific xenografts. Therefore, genes involved in xenoantigen biosynthesis, such as <i>GGTA1</i>,<i> CMAH</i>, and<i> B4GALNT2</i>, are key targets to improve the outcomes of xenotransplantation...
