摘　　要：With the microencapsulation technique for immunoisolation of transplanted tissues, a study on pituitary transplantation was performed in our lab. Mixed fetal pituitary hypothalamic nigral cells were microencapsulated and cultured to investigate the secretion of growth hormone (GH), prolactin(PRL) and PRL releasing function stimulated by thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) in the medium. Rabbits were immunized with the encapsulated cells for 50 days. The results revealed that: ①GH, PRL could be secreted into medium through the capsules; ②PRL concentration augmented when TRH was added to the medium; ③No antibody against the fetal brain tissue could be detected in rabbit serum. These indicated that the material and the procedure of microencapsulation did not disturb the viability and function of encapsulated cells; the membrane of the microencapsulation was permeable to the pituitary hormones and hypothalamic factors, and had the function of immunoisolation.With the microencapsulation technique for immunoisolation of transplanted tissues, a study on pituitary transplantation was performed in our lab.
