Popis: To evaluate changes of the myocardial β-adrenergic receptors in acute cardiac graft rejection, the density and binding affinity value of the myocardial β-adrenergic receptors in heterotopically transplanted rat isografts and allografts were analyzed. Hearts from Fisher rat donors were transplanted either to the Fisher rats (isografts) or to Lewis rats (allografts). Histologic examination of the allografts showed mild to moderate rejection on the seventh and fourteenth days and showed severe rejection on the twenty-first day after transplantation. The density values in the allografts and isografts similarly increased significantly (p
