The author made splenectomy on 15 rats, but on other 15 rats after splenectomy he performed autotransplantation of 1/3 of the spleen in omentum majus. All rats induced the duration of swimming for one month after the operation. Two months later the rats with autotransplantation received the duration of swimming, but the splenectomized rats were under the initial values with 27%. These results showed that auto-transplantation of a portion of the spleen assured the working capacity of the examined animals.
