pubmed-article:136861 | pubmed:abstractText | Transplants of 1-3 rat pancreases have proven to restitute streptozotocin induced diabetes in athymic nude mice. One out of 9 diabetic nude mice showed restitution following subcutaneous implantation of 1 rat pancreas. Three out of 6 nude mice were restituted by 2-3 grafts. Implants of rat submandibular gland did not restitute nude mice similarly treated with streptozotocin. The model seems of interest in studies of inter-species transplantation of pancreas. | lld:pubmed |
