Tissue
transplantation therapy, which has been utilised for over 50 years, is a rapidly developing field carrying with it great promise for ameliorating or curing many diseases. One of its drawbacks, however, is the potential for donor-to-recipient disease transmission. This risk is greatly reduced by excluding donors at risk of carrying
infection and by testing the donor for transmissible infectious disease. Aseptic surgical technique in a quality environment, when removing the tissue from the donor, when processing and storing the tissue and during implantation is critically important to prevent bacterial and
fungal contamination. Non-viable tissue grafts such as bone can undergo disinfection and sterilisation steps. Tissue or cell
transplantation has been an extremely valuable technique for studying developmental potential of certain cell population, dissecting cell-environment interaction relationship, identifying stem cells, and many other applications. One key technical requirement for performing
transplantation assay is that the capability of distinguishing the transplanted donor
cells from the endogenous host cells, and tracing the donor
cells over time. Zebrafish has emerged as a superb
model organism for performing
transplantation assay, because of the transparency of embryos during development and even certain adults. Using transgenic techniques and fast-evolving imaging technology, fluorescence labeled donor
cells are often easily identified and studied in vivo.
