Abstract

Background & objectives: Pretransplantation injection of donor lymphohaemopoetic cells via portal venous route has been shown to improve allograft survival in mice. In the present study, the effect of perioperative portal venous administration of donor splenocytes on skin graft survival was investigated in comparison with intravenous administration of spleen cells in Swiss albino rat skin transplant model.
