Abstract
The paradigm of neonatal unresponsiveness resulting from the immaturity of the neonatal immune system and the high susceptibility to tolerance of newborn lymphocytes was derived from an experiment carried out in mice. This experiment showed that newborn mice injected with high numbers of allogeneic hematopoietic cells failed to reject the allograft (607).
