Lack of CD47 on Donor Hepatocytes Promotes Innate Immune Cell Activation and Graft Loss: A Potential Barrier to Hepatocyte Xenotransplantation

We have previously shown that interspecies incompatibility of CD47 plays an important role in triggering rejection of xenogeneic hematopoietic cells by macrophages. However, whether CD47 incompatibility also induces rejection of nonhematopoietic cellular xenografts remains unknown. Herein, we have a...
