Abstract

Kidneys were transplanted in mongrel dogs so that renal venous drainage was into the portal system of the hosts. Thirty-one recipients were not treated, 11 were given one dose of 3 mg of azathioprine per kg, and 11 were given 2 mg of azathioprine per day. Survival was not statistically increased compared with that in three comparable series in which renal venous drainage was into the vena cava, nor were the histopathological findings favorably altered in the “portal” kidneys. The injection of semisoluble antigen into the portal vein at the same time as renal transplantation at the caval site, had an effect no different from that if the antigen were given systemically during caval site transplantation. The conclusion that drainage of grafts into the portal vein was not beneficial was reached in 20 pigs evenly divided between the portal and vena caval sites, and in 12 pairs of dog to pig or pig to dog xenografts. Thus, none of these experiments has identified an advantage of antigen delivery into the portal as opposed to the systemic venous system. © 1977 by The Williams & Wilkins Co.
