Abstract

To explore the human smooth muscle cells seeding in blood vessel of minor pig after trypsin treatment and provide data for xenotransplantation and for using pig vessel in tissue engineering. HE and silver stain were used for checking the smooth muscle cells seeding in acellular blood vessel. The results showed that the smooth muscle cells seeding succeeded and the smooth muscle cells were in normal morphological distribution. These demonstrate that the pig aorta can be used for smooth muscle cells seeding, and hence for constructing new vascular grafts.
