Phase I (cells versus host). Predominance of the rejection reaction over the facihtation reaction, leading to runting. During the second phase, that competition can continue, but now the young animal becomes immunologically competent and starts to respond to the antigenic stimulus of the injected homologous cells; this immunological response can also be exerted in two ways—rejection and facilitation. Here again a competition takes place. The direct logical consequences of the hypothesis are rather obvious. During phase I, if the rejection reaction of the injected cells towards the homologous newborn predominates over the facilitation reaction, the animal will be runted and eventually die (Fig. 2); if the facilitation.
