Summary: Although the male epididymal fat pad is an effective site for islet transplantation, females lack this tissue. Here, we present a protocol to assess the parametrial fat pad (PFP) adjacent to the uterine horn in females as an alternative site for islet transplantation. We describe steps for islet isolation from the pancreas, counting, transplantation into PFP, and monitoring for engraftment. Transplantation into PFP is minimally invasive, time efficient, and supports long-term engraftment of syngeneic islets and rejection of allogeneic islets.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhang et al. (2022).1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics. |
