Abstract

Comparative study of the rejection of 26 heart and liver xenografts in strain discordant combination (guinea pig/rat lewis) allows the authors to establish the liver's weakest sensibility to natural xenoantibodies, the modesty of histological signs on liver xenograft rejection, and these lost's more longer survival. The results are compared to those obtained with 26 heart and liver isografts.
