The aim of the study was to test a new preservation solution containing polyethylene glycol (S.C.O.T. solution) as pancreatic islet isolation medium both to increase the islet yield and to prolong the allograft survival. In a model of islet transplantation in diabetic mouse, islets were isolated with S.C.O.T. in experimental groups and with Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS) in control groups. The use of S.C.O.T. solution improved the islet yield (596+/-27 IEQ/pancreas) as compared to HBSS (456+/-11 IEQ/pancreas) (P<0.001). Allograft survival was prolonged in experimental group (17.3+/-4.3 days) versus controls (7.3+/-3.6 days) in a full mismatch combination (P<0.001) and in absence of recipient immunosuppression. The same prolongation (10 days) was also found in a strongly alloreactive transgenic combination. It is hypothesized that a transitory phenomenon of immunocamouflage of the graft surface antigens occurs, as shown by immunofluorescence studies. The use of this new solution could improve the results of islet transplantation in humans.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D015395 Histocompatibility Antigens Class I Membrane glycoproteins consisting of an alpha subunit and a BETA 2-MICROGLOBULIN beta subunit. In humans, highly polymorphic genes on CHROMOSOME 6 encode the alpha subunits of class I antigens and play an important role in determining the serological specificity of the surface antigen. Class I antigens are found on most nucleated cells and are generally detected by their reactivity with alloantisera. These antigens are recognized during GRAFT REJECTION and restrict cell-mediated lysis of virus-infected cells.
