Grafting with epidermal Langerhans cell depressed cadaver split skin.
Viable cadaver split skin is very useful as a temporary coverage of excised burns. However, the functional time on the patients is short (2-3 weeks) due to rejection of the tissue. By depression of the epidermal Langerhans cell by ultraviolet light B and glucocorticosteroid, a prolongation of the allograft survival can be obtained.
