An interim host model for human parathyroid gland (PTG) grafts has been established. In this experiment, the proliferation of mouse blood vessels and infiltration of mouse B lymphocytes into human PTG grafts were successively observed. The results showed that within 10 d of interim hosting, when PTG grafts were still nourished by permeable factors, scattered mouse B lymphocyte infiltration was already apparent. As time went by, B lymphocyte infiltration and IgG secretion became more obvious. At 60-90 d interim hosting, an intact human-mouse tissue "chimera" was formed. Thereafter, human PTG grafts were gradually fragmented and absorbed. The theoretical significance and clinical value of this rejection phenomenon are discussed.
