Abstract

Skin homografts were made between individuals of a single line of random-bred and between 3 strains of inbred rats. Graft survival was determined from histological sections of graft epidermis, and presence or absence of circulation. Survival time of skin homografts was reduced in individuals that had received a prior inoculation of packed erythrocytes.
