  • Nonvascularized xenografts, such as tissue cultured fetal pig pancreas (FPP) 3 or islets, are not prone to hyperacute rejection by preformed Abs, but are rejected within 10 days by an aggressive cell-mediated response that is difficult to prevent compared with allograft rejection ( 1 , 2 , 3 ).
