| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We hypothesized that pancreatic islet revascularization was influenced by not only the use of immunosuppressive drugs, but also by the immunological incompatibility between the donor and recipient, and we evaluated this hypothesis using a highly sensitive imaging system. At 14 days after pancreatic islet transplantation, no significant difference was detected in the newly-formed vascular volume between the pancreatic islet autotransplantation group and the allotransplantation group. These data suggest that the immunological incompatibility between the donor and recipient had only a marginal effect on the revascularization of transplanted islet grafts in pancreatic islet autotransplantation and allotransplantation models.
Furthermore, we attempted to evaluated the impact of immunosuppressive drugs on the poor outcome after pancreatic islet allotransplantation. However, it was difficult to evaluate this by technical problems.
