title: Comparison of the immunologic reactions of arterial transplants in the arterial system and of venous transplants in the venous system using inbred strains of rats.
abstract: (1) Arterial transplants used as arterial replacements induce sensitization of the recipient in the weakly as well as in the strongly allogeneic systems (afferent limb). (2) Venous transplants used as venous replacements induce sensitization of the recipient (afferent limb). (3) Arterial transplants show increasingly severe rejection reactions paralleling the degree of immunogenetic difference (efferent limb). (4) Veins transplanted as venous replacements are tolerated even in the strongly allogeneic systems (efferent limb).
