Therapeutic effect of 15-deoxyspergualin (DSG) on acute rejection was investigated by examining hepatic functions and histological findings in a model of canine liver transplantation. When acute rejection (defined as an acute rise of hepatic functions) occurred, the recipients were treated with DSG alone or combined with a small amount of methylprednisolone (MP). The recipients in group 1 were administered no basic immunosuppressant, and those in groups 2 and 3 received cyclosporine as the basic drug. The rejections in groups 1 and 2 were treated with DSG combined with MP and those in group 3, with DSG alone. Amelioration or healing of hepatic dysfunction and histological abnormalities as seen in all groups except for one case in group 3. The observations in this study were quite similar to those in renal transplantation. Therefore, DSG therapy is expected to be useful for treating graft rejection even in clinical liver transplantation.
