1986年一个大范围的研究计划在柏林开始,这个由慈爱医院附属病理学院的中心组织库进行的研究,旨在探索利用动物的组织植入人体。这些动物组织的利用将体现出比用人体组织进行移植更为优越:器官或组织数量充足,随时可得;低成本高收效。比如,牛的韧带比人的韧性大得多。一个免疫学的斥移植保护作用—抗原性,现在运用了药物后比过去大大减小了,这更鼓励了研究和将来可能的运用。 A large-scale research project began in Berlin in 1986. This research, conducted by the Central Organizational Institute of Pathology at the Affiliated Hospital, aims to explore the use of animal tissue implanted into the human body. The use of these animal tissues will be more advantageous than using human tissue for transplantation: the number of organs or tissues is sufficient and available at any time; low cost and high effectiveness. For example, cattle’s ligaments are much more resilient than humans. An immunological transplant-protective effect—antigenicity—is now greatly reduced after the use of drugs, which encourages research and possible future applications.
