Cellular Fixed Antibodies in Transplantation Immunity

Abstract

THE role of lymphocytes in transplantation immunity has been proved since the investigations of Mitchison1 and Algire et al.2. For the question in which way the lymphocytes may react with the tissue antigens the experiments of Berrian and Brent3 are interesting. The binding of tissue antigen to lymph-node cells of sensitized animals can be demonstrated in vitro by the decrease of antigen content in solution.
