Serum antibody response to mature tooth allografts in mice.
Mature mouse molar teeth were transplanted to the tibial shaft medulla across an H-2 plus multiple non-H-2 histocompatibility barrier. Over the 35-day experimental period, low levels of complement-fixing antibody were detected in the serum of recipients. Antibody was distributed over two peak periods, 6 to 11 days and 21 to 27 days after transplantation, with IgM apparently preceding IgG production.
