Figure 6. Gal-deficient islets are not protected from eventual cellular rejection.

Figure 6

Immunohistochemical analysis of intrahepatic islets from recipients experiencing functional xenograft rejection demonstrated dense lymphocytic infiltrates with loss of insulin positivity. This infiltrate stained heavily for CD3+ T cells, and moderately for CD68+ macrophages. CD20+ B cells and neutrophils did not appear to comprise a significant portion of the infiltrating cells.
