Abstract

The usefulness of the cellular exchange, with the aim of the acceptance of the transplantation , that is carried out between recipient and the transplanted organ and which constitutes a completely peculiar immunological situation, comparable to the immunotolerance of the fetal period even though with same not totally identificable is pointed out.
