Abstract:
The clinical application of xenotransplantation can provide unlimited donator organs,and promote the rapid development of organ transplantation.Xenotransplantation must overcome rejection and cross-species infection,and the latter adverse reaction is known as the biggest potential danger brought by xenotransplantation.Although cross-species infection caused by xenotransplantation has not yet occurred,test-tube experiments have already confirmed the possibility of cross-species infection.Besides,ethical issues related to the use of animal organs have been a heated social concern.
