Influence of the new standardized clinical cryopreservation/slow thawing protocol on immunogenicity of arterial allografts in rats.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN:At the present time there are two waiting list for patients with vascular prosthetic infection indicated for arterial transplantation in the Czech Republic. The inclusion of each patient for cold-stored or cryopreserved arterial transplantation is the preference of indicating surgeon. In this experimental work we studied the immunogenicity of rat aortal allografts treated by our new clinical cryopreservation/slow thawing protocol. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Brown-Norway (BN) (N = 6, 203-217 g) or Lewis (LEW) (N = 6, 248-254 g) abdominal aortal grafts treated in accordance with our new clinical cryopreservation/slow thawing protocol were orthotopically transplanted to Lewis recipients (N = 12, 191-245 g). Aortal wall histology and infiltration by recipient immune cells, as w
