โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
A comprehensive protocol is presented for the in vivo evaluation of soft tissue foreign body reactions to surgical implants. A number of methods of evaluation and quantitation of the tissue reaction to implants are presented and discussed. A strong plea is made for semiโquantitation of tissue reactions, rather than relying on subjective, qualitative methods.

## Abstract A brief discussion is presented of some of the problems and artifacts inherent in the testing of soft tissue reactions to artificial implants. The process of inflammation and wound healing is presented. The various factors affecting the foreign body reaction (chemical, mechanical, geome
## Abstract The role(s) of T lymphocytes in the foreign body response has not been thoroughly elucidated. Lymphocytes are known to augment macrophage adhesion and fusion __in vitro__. Furthermore, T lymphocytes are a possible source of the cytokines, ILโ4 and ILโ13, which induce macrophage fusion.
## Abstract The effect of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) on the subsequent chronic phase macrophageโmediated foreign body reaction has not been previously investigated. Furthermore, while monocyte/macrophageโproduced cytokines such as GMโCSF, GโCSF, or ILโ1ฮฒ have been shown to increase PMN sur
