Attempted Depletion of Passenger Leukocytes by Irradiation in Pigs

Figure 5

Life-supporting kidney Tx was carried out from (i) a nonirradiated donor (squares) and (ii) an irradiated donor (triangles) into nonsibling recipients without immunosuppressive therapy. The serum creatinine levels of the pigs rose to >884 μmol/L (>10 mg/dL) within 7 and 9 days, respectively. Rx: day of irradiation to donor (day −3); Tx: day of kidney Tx (day 0).
