Abstract

Mantle allografts and xenografts were implanted into the mantle connective tissue of the three freshwater mussels, Hyriopsis schlegeli, Cristaria plicata and Anodonta calipygos, in order to examine the wound repair process of mantle connective tissue, defense reactions, mantle transplantation immunity, the migration and fine structure of the epithelial cells derived from a mantle graft in pearl-sac formation process. The inner and outer epithelia of a mantle were separated and the inner or outer mantle epithelium alone was inserted into a mantle connective tissue by the usual technique mantle graft transplantation operation using in the freshwater pearl culture industry. The operations were carried out in Lake Biwa in spring at the water temperature of 8℃ to 14℃.
