Abstract
IN our laboratory, it was thought that work being done on oviduct physiology could be fostered by observing segments of oviduct under the influence of hormones and autonomic drugs. As transplants, the oviduct segments would not be influenced by a variable nerve supply. The hamster has very few histocompatibility genes, but these are capable of producing an antigen–antibody reaction that results in as strong a rejection of tissue as is produced by animals having innumerable histocompatibility genes. It is probably the structure of the cheek pouch, itself, which allows foreign tissue to be accepted.
