Effects of antilymphocyte serum on hyperacute renal rejection in goats


Somarie V. Jooste

Abstract

An experiment is described whereby the suppressive action of antilymphocyte serum on the suspected immunological response in exteriorized goat kidneys, produced by specifically sensitized thoracic duct cells, was tesIed. The results suggest Ihat in this system, the specific lymphocytic reaction mechanism is inhibited by antilymphocyte serum and is more in accord with the 'blindfolding' theory than any other.
