Bioartificial livers (BALs) are considered as a solution to bridge patients with acute liver failure to liver transplantation or to assist in spontaneous recovery for patients with end‐stage liver disease. Pig is the best donor of hepatocytes for BALs in clinical trials, because metabolic and detoxification function of its liver are close to human. However, using pig hepatocytes for BALs remains controversial for safety concern owing to nonhuman proteins secretion. Herein, we attempt to establish modified pigs expressing humanized liver proteins, blood‐coagulation factor VII (F7), and albumin (ALB). These pigs should also be porcine endogenous retrovirus subtype C (PERV‐C) free so that their ability of transmitting PERV to human could be diminished seriously.
