To explore the biocompatibility of acellular nerves of different mammalian species, for the acellular nerves derived from rats and rabbits, the morphology, immunocompatibility, and cytocompatibility with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were evaluated. The results indicated that the tridimensional architecture and main proteins of endoneurial tubes in both biomaterials were well retained. The nerve scaffolds did not show immunogenicity or cytotoxicity, but facilitated growth of BMSCs and secretion of neurotrophic factors in vitro. In conclusion, acellular nerves of different species possess favorable biocompatibility, and xenogenic acellular nerves combined with BMSCs have potential to replace allografts for peripheral nerve reconstruction.
