Results have not been consistent, although occasional isolated successes have been reported. In a review of the problem in 1933, Stone, Owings and Gey1mentioned tissue culture adaptation with host serum as a possible solution, and expressed the hope that many endocrine deficiencies might be treated by grafts of living tissue. More recently, Gaillard,2-4crediting Gassul5and Erdmann6with the idea of attempting to "adapt" explants to the humoral milieu of the future host in tissue culture, reported the results of transplants...Bibliography1.
