Abstract
Summary
Homotransplantation of kidneys in normal dogs was followed by prompt renal shutdown and progressive failure of the graft. Frequent complement determinations were performed during the 3-week postoperative period. Unlike the situation in human glome-rulonephritis and experimental nephritis a fall in serum complement 1 to 2 weeks later was not observed. Instead there was sometimes seen a significant rise in serum complement following homotransplantation.
