Abstract:
Objective To identify the effect of decreasing the rejection using the biological semipermeable membrane combined with the privileged site xenotransplantation. Methods The rat ICCs encapsulated by biological semipermeable membrane were xenotransplanted into dog's brain. The pathological changes of implants and surrounding cerebral tissues were observed under light and electric microscopy. The ?-cells of implants were identified by immunohistochemistry. Results After 2 months of transplantation, The ?-cells were observed and the lymphocytes were dispersed in the grafts.The brain tissues near the grafts showed slight edema and glial hyperplasia. Conclusion The method using the biological semipermeable membrane in combination with the privileged site xenotransplantation have a beneficial effect on the inhibition of the rejection of heterogeneous ICCs implant.
