Abstract
The effect of administering anti-lymphocyte serum (ALS) to the F1 hybrid recipient at various time intervals before and after the injection of parental donor cells has been investigated. The graft-versus-host (GVH) response can be completely inhibited by a single ALS injection given a short while before the injection of parental cells. ALS injected after the injection of donor cells fails to influence the GVH response.
