Abstract
ADMINISTRATION of antilymphocytic serum (ALS) or globulin (ALG) by subcutaneous1, intramuscular2, intraperitoneal3 or intravenous4 injection has been shown to prolong survival of allografts in various experimental systems. No data seem to be available, however, concerning the relative effect of administering the same dose of ALG by different routes on a particular graft in one species. We have compared the effect of daily intramuscular, intraperitoneal and intravenous injection, and continuous intravenous infusion, of ALG on skin allograft survival in rats.
