Abstract

The mouse provides a powerful model for exploring transplantation phenomena. Genetically defined mouse strains allow differential analyses of the effect of major, minor, or major plus minor allo-antigenic mismatches in terms of graft outcome. Subtle effects of strain-dependent recipient responsiveness have also been revealed, emphasizing the influence of genetic background on rejection within a given species [1, 2].
