Effect of laser irradiation and immunosuppressive treatment on survival of mouse skin allotransplants.
The effect of laser beam on the survival of skin allotransplants has been studied. Irradiation of the donor skin and of the recipient graft bed improved the survival of the graft. The graft protecting effect of anti-thymocyte serum was considerably enhanced by laser irradiation.
