Abstract
Although young adult C3H/HeJ (OH) females do not reject C3H male skin grafts, OH females older than 1 year commonly do so, as also do many thymectomized, young adult C3H females. Therapy With TP5, a synthetic pentapeptide analogue of thymopoietin which has biological properties of the parent molecule, substantially reduced the capacity of aged OH females and of thymectomized, young OH females to reject OH male skin.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
