Fig. 7From: Protection Against Hyperacute Xenograft Rejection of Transgenic Rat Hearts Expressing Human Decay Accelerating Factor (DAF) Transplanted into PrimatesCardiac function of transgenic rat hearts during ex vivo perfusion with human serum. Hearts from wild-type (circles) (n = 5) or DAF+/−hemizygous transgenic (squares) (n = 5) rats were perfused with 15% human serum for 60 min using a Langendorff apparatus. Heart rate (y-axis) was monitored every min (x-axis) throughout the experiment. Every point of analysis corresponds to the mean value of five experiments and SD is shown for values taken every 5 min.Back to article page
