Popis: Publisher Summary This chapter describes the natural outcome, and its modification, when transplants of tissues or organs are made between two subjects that stand in a variety of genetic relationships to one another. A graft may be made between two sites on the same subject referred to as an autograft. A graft transferred between separate subjects of identical genetic constitution, such as human uniovular twins, or members of a given inbred animal colony, is referred to as an isogenic graft. A graft between two genetically unrelated members of the same animal species is known as an allograft. Autografts and isogenic grafts are normally accepted and survive permanently, while allogenic grafts and xenogenic grafts are, after a brief latent period, rejected by a process called the homograft reaction. The survival times of allogenic grafts vary with the species.
