The phenomenon occurs only in the living host and in all vertebrate species studied, and it includes several immunologic and nonspecific reactions that develop and progress in an apparently orderly sequence. It is the purpose here to describe the component reactions of the rejection process and to comment briefly on some methods of modifying the phenomenon so that grafting may be more successful.Graft is used in this communication to mean homograft or exchange of tissue between individuals of the same species. The following are several types of graft: (a) avascular grafts such as corneal grafts; (b) those connected to a host by vascular anastomosis of two or more major vessels, eg, renal transplants; (c) those
