Figure 7. — (A) The growth of a miniature swine pig kidney graft transplanted into a baboon was similar to that of the contralateral kidney, which was retained in the donor. The graft in the baboon increased in volume by 2.1-fold, whereas the kidney that remained in the donor increased 1.6-fold, suggesting maintenance of a growth stimulus after transplantation. Longitudinal data obtained from 3 of 6 baboons with pig kidney grafts formed the basis of this study. Based on data from reference 65. (B) Growth of a Yorkshire pig kidney graft compared with that of a miniature swine kidney graft during the first 3 mo after transplantation into miniature swine recipients. The volume of the graft from the Yorkshire pig increased 3.7-fold, whereas that from the miniature swine increased only 1.2-fold. Based on data from reference 65.
