Morphological assessment of grafted rat and mouse cortical neurons: a light and electron microscopic study.

Journal article

The morphology of cortical neurons grafted into (or near) the rat striatum was studied by means of intracellular Lucifer yellow injections in fixed slices. Rat donor syngeneic cortical tissue (from postnatal day 1 old rats; AO strain) as well as mouse donor xenogeneic cortical tissue (prenatal day 19; C3H/HE strain) were grafted as solid pieces into 8-12 week-old rats (AO strain). Recipients of mouse xenografts were immunosuppressed with a monoclonal antibody against the interleukin-2 recepto...
