Abstract
The small-intestine graft is characterized by a large amount of epithelial surface and a great mass of lymphoid tissue. Both contribute to the elicitation of the rejection reaction. Since with this lymphatic tissue a large quantity of immunocompetent cells is transplanted, which can react against the recipient’s antigens, in addition to the rejection reaction a graft versus host reaction (GVHR) may occur.
