- Abstract
- TOLERANCE to kidney allografts in miniature swine is uniformly induced by a 12-day course of cyclosporine A (CyA) across a two-haplotype class I disparity. Second kidney allografts, SLA-matched to the first donor, are accepted without additional immunosuppression, suggesting a systemic mechanism of tolerance. We studied the role of the thymus in tolerance to renal allografts in this model.
