Chronic Skin Homograft Rejection in Vitamin B6-deficient Mice1

Nicholas G. Herr2 and David B. Coursin2

Research Institute, St. Joseph Hospital and Department of Biology, Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

A study was made of the effects on skin homograft survival times in strain C57 mice given a diet deficient in pyridoxine (vitamin B6). The pyridoxine-deficient mice showed a prolonged survival time for the homografts and exhibited a chronic homograft rejection pattern. The cellular details of this chronic rejection are presented in a series of photomicrographs which illustrate how the chronic type differs from the usual acute homograft reaction.
