Abstract
The authors have investigated the immunological rejection responses against allogeneic tendon tissue using two strains of inbred rats. A complement dependent cytotoxicity test and an absorbing test were used. The results indicate that the rat tendon tissue contained major histo-compatibility antigens, that this was largely present in tendon cell components, and that collagen showed little or no response.Keywords
