Experimental groups and specimen procurement. (A) Isogeneic transplants consisted of a strain DA donor heart placed into the abdomen of a strain DA recipient rat. Specimens procured from isogeneic transplants consisted of strain DA isograft and native heart, and strain DA blood.(B) Allogeneic transplants consisted of a strain DA donor heart placed into the abdomen of a strain BN recipient rat. Specimens procured from allogeneic transplants consisted of strain DA allograft and strain BN native heart, and strain BN blood. (C) Untransplanted animals were strain DA and BN rats that did not receive an isograft or an allograft heart. Specimens procured from untransplanted animals consisted of strain DA and strain BN blood.
