Pig blood groups are crucial for transplantation research and may necessitate transfusion support during organ or hematopoietic transplants. This review consolidates existing literature and offers practical guidance for transfusion management in pigs.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Immunology
  • Transplantation Science
  • Immunogenetics

Background:

  • Pig blood groups are significant in transplantation due to their role as transplantation antigens.
  • Pigs undergoing organ or hematopoietic transplantation may require blood transfusion support.
  • Existing literature on pig blood groups is extensive but dispersed across various journals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing literature on pig blood groups relevant to transplantation.
  • To provide practical recommendations for transfusion support in pigs undergoing transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search across multiple scientific databases.
  • Synthesis and critical analysis of relevant studies on pig blood group antigens.
