Xenotransplantation has entered the clinical phase in an effort to address the global organ shortage. However, recent clinical studies have revealed that current xenografts from gene-edited (GE) pigs still pose risk of immune rejection and biosafety concerns. In this study, we successfully produced a large batch of 582 GE cloned donor (GEC) pigs with 10-(GTKO/CMAHKO/β4GalNT2KO/hCD46/hCD55/ hCD59/hTBM/ hEPCR/hCD39/hCD47) gene edits via gene editing and somatic cell cloning technologies, and successfully obtained the F1 generation.
