To compare the "take" rates of skin grafts between myeloid-selective hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1alpha knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. Production of the alpha subunit of HIF-1alpha is increased in healing wounds, which stimulates expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to promote angiogenesis. Therefore, the take rate of skin grafts may be closely associated with the presence or absence of HIF-1alpha production in the recipient bed.
