ADULT THYMUS: LIMITED ROLE IN RECOVERY OF HOMOGRAFT RESPONSE IN IRRADIATED MICE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4703850
Thymectomized and sham-thymectomized adult LAF/sub 1/ and CBA mice received lethal irradiation and were protected with syngeneic bone marrow. Thirty days after irradiation the survivors were grafted with allogeneic and xenogeneic (rat) skin. The thymectomized mice rejected their rat grafts only slightly later tham did the mice in the sham-thymectomy group; in contrast, allogeneic grafts survived significantly longer on the thymectomized mice than they did on the mice in the control group.
