Manufacture of antithymocyte globulin (ATGAM) for clinical trials.

Abstract:

:Methods are described for preparing large amounts of horse anti-human thymocyte globulin (ATG, ATGAM; The Upjohn Company) for clinical use. These methods have been used since 1968 to provide material for clinical trials. Characteristics of 40 lots of ATG are summarized.
