Effect of Azo-coupled Antibody Immunization on Skin Homograft Survival

Nature volume 202, pages 818–819 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

IN a recent pilot experiment, an attempt has been made to modify the development of the rejection pattern of skin homografts applied to rabbits' ears. The method involved a system of immunization of the recipients with an azo-coupled extract of the first regional lymph nodes activated by grafts taken from the same donor animal. This animal also provided the definitive graft to the recipient after immunization.
