[Advances in peripheral nerve allograft].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the research advances of the peripheral nerve allograft.


METHODS
The recent articles on peripheral nerve allograft were reviewed extensively. The treatments of allograft and host were analyzed.


RESULTS
The immunogenicity of allograft was relieved by the physical, chemical or biological treatments; the immunosuppressive therapy makes the rejection relieved and the regeneration of axon accelerated.


CONCLUSIONS
The effect of peripheral nerve allograft is inferior to autograft. If the immunologic tolerance are induced successfully, the problem shall be solved.
