Impedance for healthy tissue excised from the RAG2/IL2RG pigs correlate adult swine and humans. A Gamry Reference 600 potentiostat (Gamry, Warminster, PA, US) was used to record tissue impedance within a frequency range of 103–106 Hz. The real part of the tissue impedance was used in the calculation of tissue conductivity for further comparison to values previously reported in literature. (A) Comparison of electrical conductivity from SCID-like pig tissue to healthy porcine (pancreas/brain) or human (prostate) tissue. The (B) pancreatic, (C) brain, and (D) prostate tissue demonstrate similar electrical behavior to their normal counterparts across a wide frequency range. Each data point (dot) represents reported values for normal tissue conductivity, while the black line represents data gathered in this study and the red line represents normal porcine tissue.
