Popis: SummaryChicks of known blood group genotype and parentage produced from a partially inbred line of Single Comb White Leghorns were subjected to 1800 r of discontinuous X-irradiation when approximately 21 days of age. Irradiation was administered at the rate of 16.5 r/minute in increments of 300 r interspersed with 40-minute intervals without irradiation. Immediately following irradiation hosts received intravenous injections of bone marrow homogenate obtained from sacrificed donors having various degrees of blood group genotype relationship with the respective hosts. Thirty-day post-irradiation mortality of hosts receiving transplants from donors of a different breed or of the same breed but of incompatible A, B, C and D blood group genotype was essentially the same as the irradiated controls receiving no bone marrow transplants. These groups averaged 7.3% survival as opposed to 66.3% survival for hosts receiving transplants from donors of identical blood type. When donor and host were full-sibs in additi...
