Abstract
Discovery of microchimerism in kidney and liver transplantation provided an important framework for a better understanding of allograft acceptance, for analysis of management problems and for therapeutically oriented transplanted research. In these new concept correlations with infectious diseases caused by non cytopathic microorganisms, previous enigmas, immunologic reaction, counter argument and general immunologic implications are discussed.
