Abstract
Allomyoblasts survive better than do xenomyoblasts after transplantation into infarcted myocardium. After inhibition of immunocyte infiltration by means of immunosuppressive treatment, skeletal myoblast survival is enhanced, with improved heart performance. These findings suggest the feasibility of nonautologous myoblast transplantation with immunosuppressive treatment.
