Activation of the purine salvage pathway in mononuclear cells of cardiac recipients treated with mycophenolate mofetil.

abstract：:Survival of skin allografts made to antilymphocyte serum (ALS)-treated recipients is prolonged by posttransplant intravenous injection of donor strain bone marrow cells (BMC). If asialofetuin (ASF) is coinjected with the BMC, the prolonged graft survival is augmented (e.g., median survival time increased from 43 days ...
