Abstract
In the H-Y incompatible C57BL/6 male to female [mouse] system, tail and ear skin grafts persisted longer than body (thorax) skin grafts of the same size and shape. Ear skin grafts of long standing did not affect the survival of subsequent body skin grafts; in 1 case, a long-term tail skin graft prolonged the survival of a subsequent body skin graft, both transplants persisting throughout the life of the host. Whereas ear skin grafts from which cartilage was removed were invariably rejected, several ear skin grafts with cartilage intact survived permanently.
