[Immunologic characteristics of the thymus of aged CBA mice after implantation of human fetal tissue].
The effect of human fetal tissues (hypothalamic, liver, spleen, adrenal, ovarian, testicle, uterine, prostatic, gut, placental cells) collected from the fetuses at the 16-22 weeks of prenatal development, on the cytological structure of the thymus of 2-years old CBA mice in 7, 14, 42 and 64 days after start of treatment has been studied using morphological and immunological methods. The data obtained suggest that the implantation of human fetal tissues does not stop totally, but postponed age involution of thymus.
