Desensitisation of neonatal rat pups for xenotransplantation with human tissues

External protocol Created on 30 Apr 2014

Authors

Claire M Kelly

Summary

We describe the steps involved in desensitising neonatal rat pups to xenogenic tissue on or around the day of birth. This method allows animals to be desensitised to the xenogenic tissue and therefore prevents any subsequent graft rejection. Mature desensitised animals can be transplanted with similar xenogenic tissue without the need for any other form of immunosuppression, thus allowing long term experiments to be carried out.
