Abstract
Summary
The cytotoxic antibody response to skin allografts was examined in calves which received continuous ECIL for up to 28 days. In 3 calves, which maintained posterior skin grafts until ECIL was discontinued, the antibody response was markedly depressed. Following the termination of ECIL cytotoxicity of the sera increased. It was concluded that the antibody response is propagated throughout the body by radiosensitive cells entering the blood via efferent lymphatics.
