[Dura transplantation. Multi-sequential transplants of solvent dehydrated dura mater. Animal experiment studies on the question of sensitization].
After the excision of 7 X 5 mm abdominal muscle sections in an experiment using rats, a total of 4 xenogenic, solvent dehydrated dura mater of the same size were implanted at 4 week intervals each. The transplant areas were continuously examined under a light and electron microscope for a period ranging from 7 days up to 3 months after the last transplant. Spontaneous layers of absorbent granulation tissue, rich in cells and blood vessels, surrounded the grafts in the beginning. Subsequently the grafts were gradually decomposed from the periphery to the center through macrophages like biological foreign matter and replaced with endogenous, poorly vascularized, collagenous connective tissue. The tissue reaction to the multi-sequential, xenogenic grafts was consistently the same as after single transplants. Immuno-competent cells do not increase. The solvent preserved dura mater is suited for multisequential transplants due to lacking sensitization, i.e. immunological rejection reaction.
