Storage and allogeneic transplantation of peripheral nerve using a green tea polyphenol solution in a canine model [PDF]
Background In our previous study, allogeneic-transplanted peripheral nerve segments preserved for one month in a polyphenol solution at 4°C could regenerate nerves in rodents demonstrated the same extent of nerve regeneration as isogeneic fresh nerve ...

The role of HIF-1α-VEGF pathway in bronchiolitis obliterans after lung transplantation [PDF]
Background Graft function may be affected if the organ is exposed to hypoxia. We hypothesized that bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) after lung transplantation is associated with hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). This study compares the expression of HIF-

Noradrenergic and Cholinergic Reinnervation of Islet Grafts in Diabetic Rats [PDF]
Grafted islets become denervated due to the islet transplantation procedure. The aim of the present study was 1) to examine whether islet grafts in the liver, the spleen, and under the kidney capsule in rats become reinnervated following the ...

Long-term viability and function of transplanted islets macroencapsulated at high density are achieved by enhanced oxygen supply [PDF]
Transplantation of encapsulated islets can cure diabetes without immunosuppression, but oxygen supply limitations can cause failure. We investigated a retrievable macroencapsulation device wherein islets are encapsulated in a planar alginate slab and ...

In vitro studies on the inhibitory effect of lymphoid cells. II. Antitumor activity of lymphoid cells from spontaneous mammary tumor-bearing mice on the autochthonous primary culture tumor cells [PDF]
As a step in the elucidation of human cancer immunity we studied antitumor activity of lymphoid cells by conducting a series of cultures using the primary culture of cells from spontaneous mammary cancers from C3H and RIll mice mixed with autochthonous ...

Tissue typing by unidirectional mixed lymphocyte culture. I. Demonstration of the cumulative effect of non-H-2 antigens in mice by cultured lymphocytes mixed with cell homogenate [PDF]
1. The mixed lymphocyte culture test where live lymphocytes of female mice are cultured with supersonicated cell homogenate of isogeneic male mice does not reflect the difference in H-Y histocompatibility antigen alone. 2.

The glomerular filtration rate of isogeneically transplanted rat kidneys
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was determined in rats with an isogeneic kidney transplant and compared with that of unilaterally nephrectomized rats. Experiments were carried out in adult rats, 3 months of age, weighing approximately 300 g, as well as in juvenile rats, 6 to 8 weeks of age, weighing approximately 170 g.
