Abstract:Most of the early studies on allograft rejection have been concerned with the morphological changes seen either in biopsy tissue or after removal of whole organs at different time intervals after grafting. Some have studied the organs in situ by indirect techniques which monitored physiological capacity or alterations in blood flow characteristicsVarious tissues have been studied microscopically by heterotopic implantation of organ fragments into such sites as brain (1), anterior chamber of the eye (2), renal … Show more
“…Local formation of immune complexes in blood vessel walls (Arthus reaction) results in platelet accumulation, though their absolute requirement for the injury is controversial (Kravis and Henson, 1974). In vivo exocytosis from platelets has also been seen (Hobbs and Cliff, 1973).…”

“…In noncytotoxic release, the contents of the dense bodies are rapidly liberated-probably by discharge of the granule into the canalicular system (White and Estensen, 1972) or by exocytosis (Hobbs and Cliff, 1973). Preliminary evidence suggests that, as with mast cells, contact of the granule with cations from the extracellular fluid leads to dissolution of the granule and release of its contents (Uvnlis, 1971).…”

“…Hobbs and Cliff [10] performed time-lapse cinematic microscopy of intravascular events in thin slices of allogeneic renal tissue that were implanted into observation chambers in rabbit ears. After these implants became revascularized, an orthotopic kidney was transplanted from the same donor, and the two transplants were found to reject simultaneously.…”

“…In transplants, platelets quickly engage leukocytes and increase leukocyte interactions with vascular endothelium [10]. Platelets interact with leukocytes through several mechanisms including release of chemokines, shedding of microparticles and direct cell contact.…”

“…Few authors have reported observations on rejection processes in renal allografts in this species (Heron, 1971;Hobbs & Cliff, 1973), and there is even less information on attempts to modify rejection (Dunn & Randall, 1974).…”
Both skin and kidney allografts were at least partially protected from rejection by daily treatment with 1·0 mg/kg of prednisolone acetate. Azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, antilymphocytic serum, and attempts to produce a tolerant state with prior grafting of specific donor antigen, all failed to alter the course of rejection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
