Abstract:
The thyroid allografts in rats were cultured for 48h in the conditions of hyperbaric oxygen (a mixture of 95% O2,5% CO2 pressurized at 2 atmospheres)and low pH(5.5 and 6.9).Uncultured and air cultured allografts were taken as control groups.The thyroid slices were transplanted under the kidney eapsulse of thyroidectomized recipients.By examining histological changes,detecting the serum T3 and T4 levels and five weeks body weight gain,the graft survival was cvaluated.Though the thyroids cultured in hyperbaric O2 were contaminated with the passenger leukocytes,the grafts had prolonged survival,suggesting this method might effectively diminish MHC immunogenicity to thyroid grafts.
