Al, we tried it in pig to monkey islet transplants without much luck so far, but it do not think we are ready to give up. It may work with some additional immunomodulation. We are now collaborating with Yale in this direction, since they had encouraging result in this direction with islet xenografts. These were rodent xenotransplants, however, and we have been there before. We will have to wait a little longer for the results in primates. Best, Camillo
