Abstract
Isografts of foetal small intestine, implanted under the kidney capsules of adult mice grow normally and, despite the lack of intraluminal antigenic stimulation, are populated by thymus-dependent and thymus-independent lymphocytes. The Peyer's patches in these grafts are very small, lack germinal centres and can be shown to have small thymus-dependent areas.
