The intensity of discordant xenograft cellular rejection makes it unlikely that safe doses of immunosuppressive drugs will alone be sufficient to permit long-term survival. We have therefore concentrated our efforts on establishing tolerance to xenogeneic organs through lymphohematopoietic chimerism and the elimination of preformed natural antibodies (nAbs).
