ABSTRACT:
Intravascular introduction of pooled immunoglobulin is employed prior to xenotransplantation to extend the effective lifetime of the donor organ. In particular, intravenous administration of concentrated immunoglobulin for intravenous use (IVIg) by itself, or in combination with immunosuppressive agents is used to enhance the survival time of xenografts.
