【Abstract】Objective  To investigate the effect of donor blood transfusion on inducing pancreatic allograft tolerance in outbred rat model. Methods  Wistar male rats were used as blood and pancreas donor, and diabetic recipients. One ml of donor blood injected into abdomen of diabetic recipients on the day of transplantation and azathioprine given 2 days pretransplant and continued for three days. Results  Pancreas allograft survival was significantly prolonged (28 to 112 days, media survival time 64.2 days). One ml of donor blood alone injected into the abdomen and azathioprine given alone 2 days pretransplant did not improve allograft survival (media survival time 9.8 vs 10.2 days). Conclusion  Donor blood injected on the day of transplantation and a 3 days course of azathioprine started 2 days pretransplant have b synergism in inducing long term graft survival in this rat model.
