title: Hepatic lesions in dogs treated with horse antidog lymphocyte globulin (HADLG) after kidney transplantation.
abstract: Microscopical examination of the liver of dogs which after allogenic kidney transplantation were transiently treated with antilymphocyte globulin revealed infiltrates of mononuclear cells (lymphocytes, plasma and reticulum cells). These infiltrates were usually situated in perivascular spaces (around the central veins or on the portobiliary tract). A proportion of capillaries showed endothelial proliferation and the narrowing of their lumen. The authors were unable to determine whether these lesions resulted from the direct toxic effect of antilymphocyte globulin or represented a nonspecific reaction to the used preparation.
