Abstract
Summary
Wasting syndrome in neonatally thymectomized mice is reversed by multiple newborn syngeneic or allogeneic thymus grafts in diffusion chambers. Recovery from the syndrome is associated with incomplete lymphoid tissue development but restoration of normal immune capacity in affected mice. Thymic humoral factor apparently responsible for these results does not appear to be strainspecinc.
The authors are indebted to Mrs. Marjory Kyte for technical assistance.
