Adaptive changes in the epidermal structure of the heat-acclimated rock pigeon (Columba livia): A comparative electron microscopy study.

abstract：:Allografts of skin were observed in Chelydra serpentina. The response to these grafts was modified by a previous transplantation of a limb bud at an early embryonic stage. When the same donor was used for all transplants, the first skin graft was accepted by the host. A second skin graft, however, was rejected at abou...
