The ultrastructure of normal and preserved skin of rabbits breed "chin-chill" has been investigated. The authors state that when the skin is preserved under given conditions for 20 days, the intracellular changes of the epithelium and connective tissue have a reversible character, but after 30 day preservation under the same conditions the connective tissue shows deep pathological changes. The authors conclude that the electronic microscopic investigations give a more complete characteristics for the fitness of the tissues for transplantation, as compared with other methods.
