Teeth were transplanted among mice which represented the best match possible between unrelated humans. Sera were examined for their ability to kill donor cells with the help of complement, to trigger complement-independent, cell-mediated cytolysis, and to agglutinate RBC. All responses were weak, but rejection correlated best with antibody-dependent cytolysis.
