Generation and characterization of genetically modified pigs with GGTA1/β4GalNT2/CMAH knockout and human CD55/CD47 expression for xenotransfusion studies

Abstract Pig red blood cells (pRBCs) represent a promising alternative to address the shortage in transfusion medicine. Nonetheless, a major obstacle to their clinical implementation is immunological rejection. In this study, we generated transgenic pigs expressing human CD47 (hCD47) and CD55 (hCD55...
