Abstract

Abstract Chronic rejection is the most important cause of graft failure after the first year of transplantation. In addition to the effects of host immunological injury, antigen‐independent factors may gain in importance over the long term. We therefore assessed the influence of such factors on rat kidney isografts functioning for prolonged periods and compared our findings with those observed in naive control rats and in allograft recipients. Functional, morphological, and immunohistological
