We wished to know if full-thickness corneal allografts placed centrally in clear host corneas would cause systemic sensitization. Keratoplasty was done in 13 rabbits and a leucocyte migration inhibition test was done on their systemic blood five to seven days operation using donor specific corneal antigen. All but two animals had positive results (mean inhibition 27% "/- 2.2) showing that, following keratoplasty, systemic sensitization does occur. Absence of blood vessels and lymphatics thus does not constitute an absolute barrier to sensitization of the recipient.
