The authors report observations concerning rejection and regeneration processes of allogenic peripheral neural tissue, depending on different genetic mismatches in a rat model. Five groups representing different rat strains (n = 100) were subjected to orthotopic grafting of 2.5-cm segments of sciatic nerve. Combinations represented different genetic barriers, including the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), a non-MHC, a subgroup (A) of the MHC, a group representing MHC plus non-MHC, and an autologous control group. Animals were examined after one, two, and 12 weeks; additional evaluations in some of the experimental groups were done at six and eight weeks. Regeneration in varying degrees was evident in all groups at 12 weeks.

D008285 Major Histocompatibility Complex The genetic region which contains the loci of genes which determine the structure of the serologically defined (SD) and lymphocyte-defined (LD) TRANSPLANTATION ANTIGENS, genes which control the structure of the IMMUNE RESPONSE-ASSOCIATED ANTIGENS, HUMAN; the IMMUNE RESPONSE GENES which control the ability of an animal to respond immunologically to antigenic stimuli, and genes which determine the structure and/or level of the first four components of complement.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012584 Sciatic Nerve A nerve which originates in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord (L4 to S3) and supplies motor and sensory innervation to the lower extremity. The sciatic nerve, which is the main continuation of the sacral plexus, is the largest nerve in the body. It has two major branches, the TIBIAL NERVE and the PERONEAL NERVE.
