Data are presented as percent donor granulocytes (G) and lymphocytes (L).

Chimerism analyzed in weeks before or after composite tissue graft, week = 0.

3

Weeks of follow-up after composite tissue graft, week = 0.

G767 and G969 received 2 Gy TBI (day = 0) with postgrafting immunosuppression of MMF (10 mg/kg B.I.D. subq., days 0-27) and CSP (15 mg/kg B.I.D. orally , days -1-35) and received HCT on a protocol specifically for this study.

The following dogs received HCT under separate studies and were later transferred to the present study as mixed chimeras. G244 received 1 Gy TBI with postgrafting immunosuppression of MMF (10 mg/kg B.I.D subq., days 0-27) CSP (15 mg/kg B.I.D. orally, days -1-35) and methotrexate (0.4 mg/kg, I.V. days 1, 3, 6, 11).

G500 received 2 Gy TBI with postgrafting immunosuppression of MMF (10 mg/kg B.I.D subq., days 0-34) and sirolimus (0.05 mg/kg, daily, subq, day -5 to 25).

G949 received 1 Gy TBI on day = 0, recombinant canine CTLA4-Ig (4.0 mg/kg I.V. days -7 and -5) donor PBMC (1 × 106 cells/kg on days -7 and -5 injected subq and I.V.) and post grafting immunosuppression consisting of MMF (10 mg/kg B.I.D. subq., days 0-27) and CSP (15 mg/kg B.I.D. orally , days -1-35).
