Rapid Genetic Analysis of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Signaling During Hair Regeneration

Abstract:
A rapid method for skin grafting in germfree rats was developed. Six mm grafts are punched out on the tails of host and donor rats, grafts exchanged, oriented, and bound in place with non-allergic tape. Autografts healed within 5 da; first-set allografts between strains were usually rejected within 10 da. This technic provides a simple method for the assessment of skin graft responses in the germfree environment.
