The clinical team reported a successful kidney transplant between identical twins. It demonstrated that a transplanted human kidney could sustain function in a setting that greatly reduced the immunological barrier.

What is recorded here?

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Identical twins are a special compatibility case. The operation did not solve rejection for unrelated donors. The four-person publication byline is restored from the original journal and PubMed; the DOI deposit alone lists only Merrill.
