Rejection of the E42 Pig Pancreas in Different Immunologically Mutant Mice

Abstract

<p>Grafts of E42 pig pancreas were transplanted under the kidney capsule of NOD-SCID (A), C57BL/6 (B), XID (C), and nude (D) mice and harvested 17 d after transplant. Note the extensive fibrosis and infiltration indicating rejection in the C57BL/6 and XID mice, while pancreatic components are seen in the NOD-SCID and nude mice. Each group included five mice.</p
