STUDIES OF THE IMMUNOLOGICAL FACTORS INVOLVED IN HOMOLOGOUS TISSUE TRANSPLANTATION.

Abstract

Studies of the association between blood groups and tissue compatibility in the rabbit revealed that antigens controlled by the Hg locus have a significant role in skin graft homograft survival time. A detailed analysis of the problem of chance homogeneity and survival of human homograf transfers is presented. An in vitro assay system is described which can monitor the effects upon antigen-containing bone marrow cells of various sera, lymph node cells and cell-free derivatives of lymph node cells. A cell-free preparation (PTF) from lymph nodes of guinea pigs hypersensitive to chicken egg albumin or bovine gamma globulin was injected into normal animals. Studies were made on the purification of guinea pig transfer factor (PTF). Studies have been made on the subcellular composition of guinea pig lymph node. Various chemical and enzymatic criteria have been employed to define the subcellular fractions obtained by differential ultracentrifugation. (Author)
