title: Results of kidney transplantation at Necker Hospital.
abstract: From these data, it is possible to draw some partial conclusions: long-term therapy with ATG is only slightly better than a shorter course; OKT3 and ATG are both efficient in preventing rejection occurrences but OKT3 appears to be slightly better; given as prophylactic therapy, OKT3 induces better graft function; the combination of a 21-day course of OKT3 followed by CsA is probably detrimental to patients when compared to the combination of ATG + CsA.
