  • Transplantation and graft-versus-host-disease
    Patent number: 5843425
    Abstract: A method of preparing swine donor tissue which includes hematopoietic stem cells and T cells for transplantation into a recipient mammal other than a swine. The method includes the swine donor tissue with an antibody which binds the epitope recognized by the mAb 2-6-15 monoclonal antibody. The binding facilitates depletion of T cells about as efficiently or more efficiently than does the mAb 2-6-15 monoclonal antibody and results in about the same or less depletion of stem cells as does the mAb 2-6-15 monoclonal antibody.
