Heart Allograft Tolerance Induced and Maintained by Vascularized Hind-Limb Transplant in Rats
Figure 3
Histology of the secondary heart allograft. Secondary heart transplant from the same donor strain to tolerant LEW recipients in Group 5 was performed after the vascularized hind-limb transplant survived >200 days. Secondary heart allografts showed minimum cellular infiltrate and no haemorrhage, myocardial damage, or signs of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) >150 days following transplant. 100x.
