Histological sections of nerve graft from the NA and ANX groups.

Eight weeks after graft implantation, grafts were collected and stained for histomorphometric evaluations. Hematoxylin & eosin staining revealed well integrity and revascularization of the graft (A, B). In grafts, Luxol fast blue staining (C, D) demonstrated the presence of myelin sheaths, especially in ANX. 4’,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole staining (E, F) showed many positive cells in grafts. In the decellularized nerve, the number of positive cells is observed more obviously, compared with the autograft. Arrows show vessels. (left column: NA, right column: ANX). Scale bars: 100 μm in A–D, 200 μm in E and F. ANX: Acellular nerve xenografts; NA: nerve autograft.
