Abstract excerpt
Modified limiting dilution analysis techniques were used to evaluate the effects of the immunosuppressants cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506 on alloantigen-induced T cell activation in vivo. Treatment of sponge matrix allograft recipients with either CsA or FK506 inhibited lymphocytic infiltration of the allograft, a process thought to be dependent on local lymphokine production. In addition, both immunosuppressants...
