Abstract excerpt
In some circumstances cyclosporine (CyA) induces autoimmune phenomena, and a lethal form of syngeneic graft-vs-host disease (SGVHD) can be induced in rats by the administration of CyA. Although several rat strains develop this disease, in this study, we report that of six mouse strains tested, on...
