Abstract
Summary
Thyroid tissue from 8 adult dogs was autotransplanted successfully into the cerebral cortex. Histologic viability was demonstrated in all instances for as long as 2 months. Thyroid tissue from 6 adult dogs was frozen at −196°C after immersion in dimethyl sulfoxide and stored at this temperature for 2 weeks. After rapid thawing, the tissue was autotransplanted into the cerebral cortex. Histologic examination showed apparent viability of the transplanted tissue at 6 weeks (one animal) and 12 weeks (2 animals) after autotransplantation.
