Abstract
WE have shown that adult rats irradiated during foetal life show specific tolerance of maternal skin graft1. Furthermore, we also showed that the degree of tolerance was proportional to the dose of irradiation. These results corroborate those of Lengerova2 and were interpreted as being caused by the passage of maternal blood cells through the placenta into the foetus.
