Abstract
THE lymphatic system plays an important part in a number of processes evoked by homografts. By an extirpation of the regional lymph nodes it is possible to prolong the survival of a skin graft1–3. A similar effect can be obtained by injuring the nodes by radioactive radiation or nitrogen mustard2,4.
