Figure 6 Trichrome staining of a graft site demonstrating the presence of giant cells. A and B show an area adjacent to the grafted cells where giant cells have formed. The boxed area in A is shown at higher magnification in B. Multinucleated giant cells are associated with refractile material (arrows), probably plastic that was introduced with the cells. Note that the area of engrafted cells is free from any giant cells.
