Introduction: Organ Specific Immunopathology

Lymphocyte 5'-nucleotidase deficiency in hypogammaglobulinemia: clinical characteristics.

Absence of a liver-specific membrane protein in a strain of chang cells.

A strain of Chang cells. derived from a human liver line, was examined for the presence of a liver-specific membrane protein (LSP). as described by Meyer zum Buschenfelde. Indirect immunofluorescence and antisera to human. rat, and rabbit LSP were used to demonstrate that LSP was present on isolated human, rat. and rabbit hepatocytes but not on the Chang cells. The results indicate that these C...

The two-way paradigm of transplantation immunology.

The events following organ transplantation require a reciprocal cell interaction which includes both the conventional host-versus-graft reaction and a graft-versus-host component. With all successful transplantation, both graft and recipient become genetic composites. Where donors were available, chimerism has been confirmed in 30-year kidney-recipient survivors, as well as in several liver and...
