Abstract

Whole organ pancreas transplantation in the rat was first described by Sun Lee in 1972. Since that time the basic technique has been modified in several ways and this model can now be used for a variety of experiments. Various techniques for transplantation and representative results of functional and immunological experiments are summarized.
