This study describes a new method for joining the donor ureter to the recipient bladder during mouse kidney transplantation. The donor left kidney was harvested using methods previously published, except that bladder tissue was not harvested with the end of the ureter. The recipient left kidney was

โฆ Synopsis
Improved microsurgical techniques for kidney transplantation in the mouse are described. Left renal transplantation is performed with end-to-side anastomoses of the donor renal vein to the inferior vena cava and the donor aortic cuff to the aorta. Urinary tract reconstruction is accomplished by suturing the With these modifications, it is possible to achieve success rates as high as 90%. This stable and reproducible model provides a useful tool to study the immunological mechanisms of kidney allograft rejection at the molecular level.

## Abstract In clinical settings, combined heart and kidney transplantation results in a lower incidence of cardiac graft and renal graft rejection as compared to isolated heart and kidney transplantation. To study the phenomenon in an experimental setting, we developed a model of combined heart an
Traditionally, the mouse nonvascularized skin graft has been widely used in organ transplant research. There are, however, several limitations with this model, the main one being the different immune response of vascularized vs. nonvascularized grafts. We have recently developed a vascularized, orth
