Abstract
INTEREST in the use of heterologous anti-leucocyte serum as a means of suppressing the homograft reaction was stimulated by the work of Woodruff and Anderson1,2, who showed that rejection of skin allografts in rats could be delayed by administering rabbit anti-rat leucocyte serum to the skin graft recipients. Similar findings pertaining to allografts of skin in mice have since been reported by Monaco et al.3 and Levey and Medawar4.
