متن کاملSplit Tolerance Induced by Orthotopic Liver Transplantation
Spontaneous orthotopic liver allograft acceptance associated with microchimerism in mice induces tolerance to subsequent skin or heart transplants from the donor but not third-party animals. Despite in vivo hyporesponsiveneu, in vitro MLC and CTL assays showed continuing anti donor reactivity. Cells isolated from recipients' spleens and grafted livers, when tested in MLC and CTL assays, were an...
