[A model for allogenic extremity transplantation in the rat with possible microcirculatory monitoring].

A rat model for monitoring allograft rejection of transplanted rat hindlimbs at the microcirculatory level is described. The well-established rat cremaster flap model is combined with a rat hindlimb transplantation procedure at a level proximal to the neurovascular pedicle of the cremaster muscle. The cremaster serves as a microcirculatory monitor for in vivo evaluation of graft rejection by measuring skeletal muscle perfusion. Donor animals are male Lewis Brown Norway rats and recipients are Lewis rats. The right cremaster muscle of the donor animal is dissected as a tubular island flap and preserved in a subcutaneous tunnel in the hindlimb. Afterwards, the right hindlimb including the cremaster is amputated at the mid level of the common iliac vessels and transplanted to the recipient at the level of the external iliac vessels. Over a time period of five days, the cremaster muscle of the composite transplants showed appropriate tissue quality for intravital microscopical observations. This transplantation model allows evaluation of allograft rejection in vivo at the microcirculatory level.
