Our findings demonstrate that mixed chimerism reduces human natural antibodies to pig xenoantigens, providing the first in vivo evidence of human B cell tolerance induction by mixed xenogeneic chimerism and supporting further evaluation of this approach for inducing human B cell tolerance to xenografts.
