title: [Prolongation of survival of skin allograft with anti-Thy-1 monoclonal antibody in mice].
abstract: Skin allograft rejection is mainly mediated by T lymphocytes. We investigated the cytotoxicity of anti-Thy-1 McAb to murine thymocytes in vitro, and evaluated the prolonging effect on the survival of murine skin allografts (BALB/c--C57BL/6) in vivo with the McAb. The results showed murine thymocytes were destroyed in vitro by the McAb with complement; the survival of skin allograft was prolonged in vivo with the McAb. Lymphocyte infiltration in skin allografts was inhibited. These results provide a valuable reference for the clinical usefulness of anti-CD3 McAb in prolonging survival of human skin allografts in burn patients.
