Objective: To analyze the mechanisms of surrogate tolerogenesis induced by chimeric donors.
Methods: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from human cord blood were transplanted into fetal rats via intrauterine injection and infused into the liver of the neonatal rats to establish chimeric rat models with human HSCs. Four weeks after birth, flow cytometry was performed to analyze the percentages of human CD45 (hCD45), CD55 (hCD55) and CD59 (hCD59)-positive cells in the peripheral blood cells of the chimeric rats.

With surrogate tolerogenesis. the recipient immune system is engrafted within the donor pig before organ transplant. Chimeric pig hearts may resist hyperacute rejection by inducing accommodation.

Background: Organ xenografts are fulminantly rejected by antibody-mediated vascular rejection. Surrogate tolerogenesis (ST), the induction of tolerance within the donor, is effective with aorta xenografts. This preliminary study assesses the effect of ST on preformed antibodies and rejection of porcine heart xenografts.

Background: Prior to organ harvesting, an attempt was made to modulate the donor's immune responses against prospective xenogeneic recipients by infusion of "recipient-type" bone marrow.
Methods: For this purpose, baboons conditioned with total lymphoid irradiation were given 6 x 10(8) unmodified human bone marrow cells/kg body weight with no subsequent treatment.
Results: Animals survived until they were euthanized at 18 months.
