Editorial Reviews

Contains papers from the October 1995 symposium, in sections on general aspects, transgenics, and immunology and infectious diseases. Topics include ultrastructure of the liver in piglets fed dietary oils, artificial surfactant as a vehicle for endotracheal epinephrine in pediatric porcine cardiopulmonary arrest, transplantation and genetic manipulation in porcine systems, assessment of public health aspects of porcine xenotransplantation, cellular immune responses controlling infectious diseases, and associations between stress- susceptibility and immune status in pigs.
