Experience with HLA and Sex Randomized Human Fetal Tissue Transplant in Adult Diseases: A Preliminary Report (Human Leukocyte Antigen) (Clinical Report‪)‬

Abstract The art of transplant surgery has come a long way in establishing itself as an important discipline with the support of immunology, molecular biology, etc., for the restoration of the function of a failing organ. Today, there is a major discrepancy in the demand and supply of adult organ grafts. The aim of the present study is to examine whether fetal tissue/organ, with its intrinsic advantage of hypo-antigenicity as well as its rich organ specific stem cell content, can survive in a HLA and sex randomized host in a heterotopic site without any immunosuppressive support.
