Results We detected no alloantibody production to graft MHC-I antigens, and found no differences between syngeneic and MHC mismatched grafts in terms of remodeling with host bone, graft healing, and mechanical strength.
Conclusions Mismatches for MHC antigens do not seem to play a decisive role in healing of long-term, deep-frozen bone allografts.
