[Morphometric and histologic studies after transplantation of avital xenogenic tissues]

The reaction of subcutaneous soft tissue on xenogenic grafts was studied by means of morphometric and histological methods. Xenogenic grafts of human dura and bovine vessels were prepared with fibrin tissue adhesives and with a Lys-Pro-derivative which is an angiogenic factor in other animal models. The best results could be demonstrated in the animal group in which the Lys-Pro-derivative was used, 7, 28, and 87 d after operation.
