Summary
Organ transplantation is challenged with non-availability of organs for candidates on the waiting list. Xenotransplantation is the process of transplanting animal cells, tissue, into a human being. Xenotransplantation or xenografting refers to the transplantation of organs of animals from different species [3]. Xenotransplantation could supplement the supply of human organs for clinical transplantation [5].
