Percentage refers to percentage of donor pig AECs expressing human TBM.
Related to high heparin dosage; treated successfully.
Intra-arterial catheter thromboembolic complication.
Ascites drained on two occasions (day 14 = 500 mL and day 16 = 750 mL); reaccumulated rapidly; ascitic fluid sterile.
Blood - enterococcus faecalis; ascites drained at necropsy (day 15 = 600 mL); ascitic fluid also grew enterococcus faecalis.
Blood - enterococcus faecalis; ascites drained on day 14 (<50 mL) and at necropsy (day 23 = 700 mL); ascitic fluid sterile.
This baboon did not receive anti-CD20mAb. Pneumonia related to Enterococcus faecalis and Escherischia coli.
