The difference in the timing of the regeneration process of skeletal muscle between SJL/J and BALB/c mice was investigated using grafts of whole skeletal muscle (both autografts and allografts). Histological, autoradiographic and immunohistochemical techniques were used in the investigation. Infiltr...
