Tissue from another species used as temporary graft in certain cases, as in treating a severely burned patient when sufficient tissue from the patient or from a tissue bank is not available. It is quickly rejected but provides a cover of the burn for the first few days, reducing the amount of fluid loss from the open wound. Also called heterograft.

What else can I help you with?
Graft rejection may be caused by?
using a xenograft
Why is xenograft rejected?
When a body receives an organ or cell from a different specie, the immune system of the hosting body identifies it as a foreign agent.
What has the author Mark D Peterson written?
Mark D. Peterson has written: 'Monocyte-endothelial interactions in the pathogenesis of delayed xenograft rejection'
Which class of tissue graft is the least likely to be accepted by a patient's body?
Xenografts, which are tissue grafts taken from a different species, are typically the least likely to be accepted by a patient's body due to immune system rejection. This rejection occurs because the patient's immune system recognizes the xenograft as foreign tissue and mounts an immune response against it.
What are the 4 graft types represented in the musculoskeletal subsection?
The four graft types in the musculoskeletal subsection are allograft (muscle, ligament, or tendon tissue from another person), autograft (tissue from the patient's own body), synthetic graft (artificial materials), and xenograft (tissue from a different species).
What words start with the letter x in the human body system?
Examples of words related to the human body system that start with the letter "x" include xiphoid (as in xiphoid process, a small cartilaginous extension at the lower end of the sternum) and xenograft (an organ or tissue transplant from one species to another).

What is an allographt?
An allograft is a surgical procedure that transplants cells, tissues, or whole organs from one individual to another of the SAME species. The caveat is that the individuals must be genetically distinct. This distinguishes an allograft from a syngeneic isograft in which the individuals are genetically identical (i.e. monozygotic twins or cloned mice). A xenograft is between individuals of different species and an autograft is a transplant within the same individual (i.e. skin grafts for burn victims).
If a xenotransplant was done for a human how can you be sure that the organ put into the human will grow properly with the human?
Within transplantation surgery, there is nothing to be "sure" about, even when working with allograft transplants. With xenograft transplants (which are exceptionally rarely performed), risks are much higher and there are additional risks which do not occur with allograft transplants. In either case, there is no way to be "sure" of a good outcome, due to the many known and unknown random variables which affect outcomes.
