Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic (morphologic and antigenic) properties and mitotic index of cultured Schwann cells obtained by dissecting nerves from six diabetic patients were studied. These features were compared with those of Schwann cells cultured in vitro from six normal control nerves. Preservation of the s...
