Successful lymph node transplantation in rats, with restoration of lymphatic function

B F Shesol et al. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

After doing a popliteal lymphadenectomy in rats, we were able to transfer a mass of inguinal nodes to the area, either on an island pedicle of the superficial epigastric vessels, or as a free flap by microvascular anastomoses. The transplants survived and at 7 days were able to entrap india ink particles, or particles of radioactive gold, injected in the distal part of the extremity.
