  • Patent number: 10717991
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transgenic pig in which an immune rejection response is suppressed during xenotransplantation, wherein a gene coding for heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and a gene coding for tumor necrosis factor receptor 1-Fc (TNFR1-Fc) are simultaneously expressed and a gene coding for ?-1,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) is knocked out; and a method for producing the same.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190024115
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transgenic pig in which an immune rejection response is suppressed during xenotransplantation, wherein a gene coding for heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and a gene coding for tumor necrosis factor receptor 1-Fc (TNFR1-Fc) are simultaneously expressed and a gene coding for ?-1,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) is knocked out; and a method for producing the same. The transgenic pig of the present invention, in which the genes coding for human HO-1 and TNFR1-Fc fusion protein are simultaneously expressed and the gene coding for GGTA1 is knocked out, may reduce oxidative stress during organ isolation and in vitro culture by antioxidative reaction, cytoprotective function, etc., and may also reduce a TNF-?-mediated inflammatory response in early transplantation by TNFR1-Fc expression.
