A porcine endothelial cell was characterized and immortalized for genetic modification. Five genes including GGTA1, CMAH, β4galNT2, SLA-I α chain, and β2-microglobulin that are responsible for the production of major xenoantigens were sequentially disrupted in immortalized porcine endothelial cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
