title: [Effect of high dosage immunoglobulins on the function of rat hearts in xenoperfusion with human blood].
abstract: The application of high-dose immunoglobulins during xenoperfusion of the isolated rat heart resulted in a significantly higher pressure and heart rate. The coronary flow was also elevated as compared to untreated controls. The heart function during xenoperfusion without treatment was reduced to 50% of the baseline values within 11 min. With immunoglobulin treatment the occurrence of this deficit was delayed to 30 min. A concentrate of immunoglobulins was able to reduce the early functional damage of xenoperfused hearts by interfering with complement related graft destruction.
