Abstract
Abstract. In the H‐2‐compatible donor‐recipient combination (BALB/c ± DBA/2), pretransplant donor‐specific blood transfusion (DST) via the portal venous (PV) route significantly prolonged cardiac graft survival. DST via the intravenous (IV) route (systemic circulation) also showed a marked prolongation of heart tissue transplant survival in this model. In the H‐2‐incompatible combination (BALB/c → CBA/H), DST via the IV ‐ but not via the PV ‐ route resulted in accelerated graft rejection.
