Although dizygotic cattle twins with erythrocyte chimerism exhibit complete tolerance to each other's hematopoietic tissues exchanged in utero by way of chorionic anastomoses, they may not be completely tolerant to each other's histocompatibility antigens. Skin grafts exchanged between partners of 21 pairs of chimeric twins were rejected by more than half of the twins in an average of 250 days.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
