[Use of the intravisceral graft technic for the study of histologic changes in the skin after freezing]

The authors present their technique for freezing thin skin samples which may be used for intravisceral grafts in the testis, the liver and the kidney to test developing potentials for grafts conserved in this manner. In comparison with fresh grafts, they show that frozen samples not only retained their vitality, but the ability to multiply, differentiate and mature. They eliminate any ambiguities in the interpretation of the results. At the same time, they note that the period spent in liquid nitrogen does not prevent graft rejection in the case of allografts.
