title: Strong histocompatibility antigens in Urodela amphibians.
abstract: In 13 experimental groups skin allo- and xenografts were performed from one donor to several hosts of Tirturus alpestris and T. vulgaris. In all but two groups chronic rejection reaction was observed. Extraordinarily quick rejection (MST = 8 days) in the remaining two groups may be explained by the presence of strong histocompatibility antigens.
