This study is based on a postulated physical model substantiated by trans-fer studies with compatible rat erythrocytes tagged with lWg and isotonic saline tagged with Na% As early as 1862, Paul Bert, working in Claude Bernard’s laboratory, surgically united rats so that they were able to live in combination more or less naturally and permanently(I). Concerning his work he wrote:“The object of the experiments called parabiosis was to join two animals by their skin and subcutaneous tissue in order to establish an exchange of nutritive material by establishment of a common circulation. The vascular union resulted in a more or less complete physiological unity. At autopsy I injected several animals and demonstrated to myself that vascular communication had established itself between vessels of the same caliber.... As evidence of the physiological importance of this communication, I injected belladona subcutaneously into one animal and the other showed pupillary dilation in five to thirty minutes.” Approximately 50 years elapsed before papers appeared indicating a sign& cant renewal of such investigations. In 1908 Sauerbach and Heyde (2) started a careful and extensive research with parabiotic rats which was to be expanded by many other investigators into numerous and diverse ramifications. It was thought by most experimental biologists that such a combination offered an opportunity for the delineation of those physiologic phenomena occurring as a result of the action on cells of a circulating substance, in contrast to those arising by any other mechanism. Although there was considerable discussion and some experimentation concerning the relation of the body fluids and solutes of one animal to the other, there was little exact knowledge. It was generally assumed that there was free interchange of fluids of the members of a pair, but the results of many parabiotic experiments in the past have caused some individuals to doubt that the rat parabiotic technique establishes physiologic unity. In fact, the interpretation of some of the following experiments has included the inference that there was a barrier to the exchange of humoral substances. Ranzi and Ehrlich found that the injection of tetanus toxin was deleterious to the treated animal but was harmless to its partner, while the injection of killed cholera and typhus organisms resulted in early active immunity in the treated animal and the uninjected twin only developed passive immunity some time later (3). Christea and Denk noted a prolongation of clotting time in the injected twin when
