An attempt to protect calves against experimental bovine leukosis using allografts.
Six calves sensitised by implanting skin from a calf were later inoculated with lymphocytes from the same calf after the calf had been infected with bovine leukosis virus (BLV). Two out of 6 calves challenged did not develop BLV antibodies and BLV was not isolated from these animals, whereas all of the 5 control calves became infected with BLV.
