Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of providing a pancreatic, lymphoid/hematopietic or pulmonary organ and/or tissue function to a mammalian subject is provided. The method comprises transplanting into the subject a developing mammalian pancreatic, lymphoid/hematopietic or pulmonary organ/tissue graft, respectively, thereby generating a functional pancreatic, lymphoid/hematopietic or pulmonary organ and/or tissue, respectively, for providing the pancreatic, lymphoid/hematopietic or pulmonary organ and/or tissue function, respectively, to the subject.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of providing a pancreatic function to a human subject, the method comprising transplanting into the subject a porcine pancreatic vascularized organ/tissue graft, wherein said porcine pancreatic vascularized organ/tissue graft is at a gestational stage of about 42 to about 56 days of gestation, thereby generating a functional porcine pancreatic organ/tissue for providing the pancreatic function to the subject. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has an abnormal activity of a biomolecule naturally produced by a mammalian pancreas. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said biomolecule is insulin. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has an abnormal activity of a biomolecule naturally produced by a mammalian pancreatic islet. 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transiently administering to the subject at least one T-cell costimulation inhibitor and at least one CD40 ligand inhibitor. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said transplanting said graft into the subject is effected by transplanting said graft under at least one renal capsule of the subject. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said transplanting said graft into the subject is effected into the pancreas.
