Two baboon liver xenografts transplanted to patients with B virus hepatitis supported life for 70 and 26 days but did not function optimally despite minimum or no histopathologic findings of overt humoral or cellular rejection in serial biopsies. However, there was evidence of complement activation in both cases, which in retrospect was thought to explain the unsatisfactory outcome. Strategies to deal with this problem are discussed.
两只狒狒肝脏异种移植到B型病毒性肝炎患者体内,维持生命70天和26天,但尽管在系列活检中未发现明显体液或细胞排斥的最小组织病理学表现或无此表现,其功能仍未达到最佳状态。然而,两例均有补体激活的证据,事后认为这可以解释不尽人意的结果。文中讨论了处理该问题的策略。
