Prediction of graft versus host disease by frequency analysis of cytotoxic T cells after unrelated donor bone marrow transplantation.

abstract：:Agarose is known to inhibit nonspecifically the cytotoxic effects of normal sera on xenogeneic lymphoid cells. To find an explanation for this agarose effect we have studied its requirements using guinea pig and human sera as the source of activity and rat thymocytes as target cells. Control assays were performed usin...
