Abstract

To investigate the relationship between immunogenicity and decellularization processes of chemically acellular nerve allografts. Adult Sprague Dawley rats were used as nerve donors and adult male Wistar rats used as nerve recipient hosts. 25 mm nerve segments were excised from SD rats' sciatic nerves. The nerve segments were decellularized via an improved chemical decelluarization treatment as follows: (1) nerve segments were rinsed with cold sterile Ringer's solution; (2) stabilized by pinning the ends to a thin plastic support, and submerged in 4% Triton-100 solution 12 h; (3) soaked into 3% sodium deoxycholate for 12 h; (4) washed in distilled water for 6 h. The procedures were repeated once again. The acellular nerve allografts from SD rats were sterilized by gamma irradiation and implanted into Wistar rats subcutanously. The control group was implantation of fresh nerve allografts from SD rats. The immunogenicity of acellular nerve allograft was tested by immunohistochemical examination of the intensity of CD3(+), CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells that infiltrated the allografts. Ulnar nerve segments were obtained from forearms of dogs and decellularized according to above procedures. According as the decellularization times, The ul...Continue Reading

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.
