Rat parathyroid transplantation. Allograft pretreatment with organ culture and antilymphocyte serum

Transplantation
I R Gough, M Finnimore

Abstract

The hypothesis that tissue culture alters the immunogenicity of grafts and that this alteration of immunogenecity is attributable to loss of passenger leucocytes has been investigated in an inbred rat parathyroid allograft model. DA rat (Ag-B4) parathyroid glands were cultured for up to 3 weeks before allografting into Lewis rat (Ag-B1) recipients. A second series of experiments was performed in which donor-specific antilymphocyte serum was added to the medium during organ culture for up to 3 weeks. Neither method of pretreatment produced prolongation of allograft survival.

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.
