Gene Synthesis> | … In this study, we prepared the transgenic (TG) silk in the same way as Saotome et al. reported [14]. The DNA of the open reading frame sequence of the VEGF gene (AB021221) was synthesized (GenScript, USA) and then cloned into pHC-EGFP [15] … | Get A Quote |
In order to develop small-diameter vascular grafts, it is necessary to evaluate endothelialization, especially, in the center part at early stage. For implantation of vascular grafts of 1?cm in length to abdominal aortae of rat, endothelial cells can be formed easily by stretching anastomosis. We evaluated the endothelialization in the center part of vascular grafts by implanting vascular grafts using transgenic (TG) silk fibroin (SF) of 3?cm in length. Vascular grafts were prepared 1.5?mm in diameter and 1 and 3?cm in length using wild type (WT) SF and TG SF by braiding structure, respectively. The grafts were removed after 2?weeks or 3?months and evaluated pathologically. Endothelialization was not ... More
