Clinical experience with antilymphocyte-globulin in cadaveric kidney transplantation. 1977

J Ahlmen, and B Storm, and H Brynger, and L Sandberg, and L E Gelin

Two different commercially available anti-lymphocyte-globulin preparations have been used in 30 recipients of primary cadaveric kidneys. No difference in graft survival was found within three years after transplantation compared to 102 primary cadaceric kidney recipients who only received basic immunosuppression. When only patients completing an intended ALG dosage were considered, the one-year graft survival was 65% compared to 52% in patients not receiving ALG. In this series of ALG treated patients no major benefits were found compared to the basic immunosuppressive regimen used at this transplantation centre.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
