Recent studies have documented the potential of the porcine corneal graft as a substitute for use in human allograft and have highlighted the mechanisms of rejection of xenocorneal transplantation. Antibody-mediated or complement-mediated xenogeneic rejection should be further explored in a large animal model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
