AB The  ability  to  transplant  human  organs  successfully  has  developed  in  the  span  of  a  single  generation  of  physicians  and  surgeons.  This  remarkable  achievement  is  an  excellent  example  of  how  animal  models  may  be  used  to  understand  and  develop  treatments  for  human  disease.  Organ  transplantation  is  now  the  preferred  treatment  modality  for  a  variety  of  different  types  of  organ  failure.  Transplantation  offers  not  only  improved  long-term  survival  but  also  improved  quality  of  life  for  many  patients  afflicted  by  renal,  hepatic,  cardiac,  and  pulmonary  failure.
