Abstract

Perichondrium of human nasal, tracheal, costal and conchal cartilage was analysed by an immunohistological staining technique using monoclonal antibodies against different class II antigens. Our morphological study shows clearly the presence of class II antigens on the perichondrium of nasal, tracheal and conchal cartilage. Therefore the transplantation of cartilage allograft free of perichondrium may be preferred.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
