cd39 mRNA levels in wild-type cardiac xenografts post-transplantation. In the long-term survival model (circles), recipients were treated with CVF and CsA. In the concordant rejection model (triangles) recipients received no immunosuppressive agents either before and after transplantation. Rejection times varied from 58 to 65 hr. RNA extraction and RT-PCR analysis were performed as described in Materials and Methods. Absorbance units (AU) were calculated by ratio of β-actin: cd39 RT-PCR products. Results are the mean ± SEM for three mice per time point.
