Abstract:
In recent years, different experimental transplantation techniques have been developed in animals to gain further insight into the immunologic and non-immunologic processes occurring in grafts. Microsurgery permits the application of these procedures to small animals, as the rat. We present our experience in experimental transplantation in rats, with special reference to isogenic transplantation (inbred animals), leaving solely the graft in the receptor. The technical characteristics, the analytic and histologic findings after transplantation are described.
