Figure 2From: Splenectomy increases the survival time of heart allograft via developing immune tolerance Assessment the mean survival time of cardiac allograft. The Kaplan–Meier curve shows the survival time of transplanted hearts. The mean allograft survival time was significantly prolonged in splenectomy + HT group (—) when compared with cardiac allograft alone rats in HT group (− −) (7 ± 1.1 days and 27 ± 1.5 days for HT and splenectomy + HT, n = 12-14/group, HT vs. splenectomy + HT, p < 0.001).Back to article page
