Journal Article
Homotransplantation of the liver in humans.
TL;DR: A number of problems are described which must be surmounted for the clinical use of liver homotransplantation, based upon experience with 3 patients, and it is thought that the therapy with azathioprine, prednisone, and actinomycin C had forestalled the rejection process.

TL;DR: The piglets carrying a point mutation in the α1,3GT gene hold significant value, as they would allow production of α1-3Gal-deficient pigs free of antibiotic-resistance genes and thus have the potential to make a safer product for human use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell migration, chimerism, and graft acceptance
Thomas E. Starzl,Anthony J. Demetris,Noriko Murase,Suzanne T. Ildstad,Camillo Ricordi,Massimo Trucco +5 more
TL;DR: The chimeric nature of the transplanted liver was first shown in long-surviving human recipients of orthotopic hepatic allografts in 1969 and its continued presence was confirmed by the acquisition and maintenance in recipient blood of new donor-specific immunoglobulin (Gm) types and red-blood-cell alloantibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thomas E. Starzl,Thomas E. Starzl,John J. Fung,Raman Venkataramman,Satoru Todo,Anthony J. Demetris,Ashok Jain +6 more
TL;DR: FK 506 was given for immunosuppression in 14 liver recipients and 2 of the 14 Liver recipients were given cadaveric kidneys, either from the same donor or from a different donor, and a third was given a pancreas as well as a kidney from the liver donor.
Journal ArticleDOI
