| pubmed-article:325763 | pubmed:abstractText | Canine cyclophosphamide (CY) chimeras permanently accept kidney and skin grafts as do radiation chimeras. Three of five dogs with reversion of chimerism rejected their kidney grafts within 11-16 days, while two of them retained their kidney grafts permanently. These results suggest that the reversion of chimerism in CY chimeras may be due to different mechanisms, either immunologic rejection or a nonimmunologic substitution of the grafted marrow by the host's own hemopoiesis. | lld:pubmed |
