Research Grants
- Human/Pig Model of Hepatitis C Virus for New VaccinesWilliam Beschorner; Fiscal Year: 2005..A large animal immune compentent model of HCV will lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus and to more effective vaccines and immune therapy. ..
- Heart Xenotransplantation with Chimeric Donor PigsWilliam Beschorner; Fiscal Year: 2006..Follow up studies would establish the relative contribution of tissue accommodation and specific immune tolerance to the prolongation of heart xenograft survival. ..
- Islet Transplantation with Chimeric Donor PigsWilliam Beschorner; Fiscal Year: 2006..These will permit earlier detection of rejection or graft failure, and establish the safety of xenotransplantation with regards to risk of zoonotic or opportunistic infections. ..
