Abstract
An evaluation of the influence of ABO blood group and sex on the normal lymphocyte-transfer test is presented, together with a new technique for recording results. First and second reactions were observed, and a high proportion of negative reactions recorded. The results show that blood group and sex have no influence on the reactions obtained. The test may indicate degrees of incompatibility between graft recipients and members of a tissue-donor panel. The possible danger of intradermal injections of dextran is emphasized.Keywords
