Abstract
In mice, thymectomized as young adults, neonatally induced tolerance persists in the putative absence of cell chimerism. The finding provides evidence that a selective deficiency of specific clones of lymphocytes exists in transplantation tolerance when induced under the conditions of these experiments.
