Isogenic transplantation was performed in 15 mice, and survival was monitored over 12 weeks. Only one kidney transplant recipient died during the observation period, resulting in 93% long-term survival (a). Recipients showed constant weight gain, indicating normal growth (b). Renal function remained stable over the observation period of 12 weeks (c).
