donor contribution | prox. duct (n, %) | dist. duct (n, %) | prox. acinar (n, %) | dist. acinar (n, %) |
high | 4/4, 100% | 4/4, 100% | 4/4, 100% | 4/4, 100% |
low | 1/1, 100% | 2/3, 67% | 0/1, 0% | 2/2, 100% |
total* | 5/5, 100% | 6/7, 86% | 4/5, 80% | 6/6, 100% |
abbreviations: prox., proximal; dist., distal.
Not every chimeric pancreas could be clearly assessed in all regions due to variations in mounting technique and limitations of confocal microscopy. Ambiguous samples were excluded from analysis.
