Bioartificial liver assist devices (BLADs) are expected to bridge liver failure patients to liver transplantation, but porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) still pose a potential risk in pig-to-human xenotransplantation and thereby limit the use of bioartificial liver therapy. In our lab, fluidized-bed BLADs based on microencapsulated primary porcine hepatocytes have been successfully used to treat liver failure pigs. We detected the risk of PERVs transmission of microencapsulated primary porcine hepatocytes-the key component of fluidized-bed BLADs, to evaluate the biosafety of this device for further clinical applications.
