Abstract
IT has now been established that homografts of cornea and cartilage behave quite differently from skin homografts and can survive for long periods. The clinical success of the corneal graft has been known since 18781, and there is ample evidence from histological and autoradiographic studies of experimental corneal homografts to confirm that they remain viable long after homografts of tissues such as skin are destroyed by the host tissues2–4.
