Abstract
THE early detection of allograft rejection, before organ function deteriorates, is an important objective of clinical research in transplantation immunology. Because lymphocytes play a central part in graft rejection 1,2, attention was focused on these cells in the circulation of graft recipients. We observed that the numbers of circulating lymphocytes that incorporate3H-thymidine rise significantly during organ allograft rejection and may predict rejection crises by 24-48 h.
