Table 1.

Shows a summary of the experiment including conditioning regimen, amount of bone marrow received, as well as the immunological response to donor.

Conditioning regimen received Total number of Bone marrow cells/Kg recipient weight Duration of detectable peripheral chimerism Increase in anti-non-Gal IgG levels Increase in anti-non-Gal IgM levels Bone marrow Chimerism at day 28 Invitro cellular response by MLR to GalT-KO pig PBMC after stopping immunosupression.
B156 Basic 1 × 10^ 9 Minutes No No Detected Not Tested
B158 Basic 7.5 × 10^ 8 Minutes No No Detected Specific hyporesponse to donor
B270 Basic 1.6 × 10 ^ 9 Minutes Yes No Not detectable Proliferation to GalT-KO pig donor
B265 Enhanced 4.56 × 10 ^ 9 2 days Yes No Not detectable Proliferation to GalT-KO pig donor
B284 Enhanced 5.3 × 10^9 4 days Yes Yes Not detectable Proliferation to GalT-KO pig donor

Basic conditioning regimen: Total Body Irradiation (150 cGy), Thymic irradiation (700 cGy), 2 doses of loCD2b (4mg/kg/dose), 1 dose of Rabbit ATG (20 mg/kg/dose), Splenectomy and continuous tacrolimus to day 28.

Enhanced Conditioning regimen: [Total Body Irradiation (150cGy), Thymic irradiation, (700cGy) 2 doses of loCD2b (4mg/kg/dose), 2 doses of Horse ATG (50 mg/kg/dose), Splenectomy,] plus Rituximab (20 mg/kg/dose), Velcade (1.3mg/kg/m2 BSA), 1 hour Immuno-adsorption and continuous tacrolimus to day 28.
