Organ transplantation has nearly disappeared from headlines within the day-by-day press, probably since it didn't satisfy exaggerated expectancies. Transplanta­ tion pathology has develop into an increasing number of vital, not just with relation to healing transplantations yet much more in its primary theories. there's a few analogy right here to the improvement in area technological know-how the place excellent achievements have been through sobering frustrations and the place, in the intervening time, the influence on know-how is extra fruitful than the end result of the unique far-reaching initiatives. That transplant rejection was once outlined, in such a lot of its levels, as an immunologic technique, has given many new impulses to immunology typically. Transplantation assays became a puppy scan in immunobiology and an considerable resource of normal details and information. the results of one of these improvement couldn't be envisioned while the current quantity used to be defined and deliberate. based on the idea that of WILLI MASSHOFF, common transplantion pathology used to be given a valuable place as a basic technological know-how, whereas the chapters at the transplantation of assorted tissues are of a extra paradigmatic personality. It used to be MASSHOFF who invited powerfuble authors and who controlled to stability their articles, regardless of a few overlapping, so that it will draw a entire photograph of latest transplanta­ tion pathology. WILLI MASSHOFF died whereas he was once enhancing the 1st manuscripts. As co-editors we have now undertaken to accomplish the booklet that we begun together.

Sample text

This finding is especially interesting, since an increase in titer of antibodies against the Epstein-Barr virus has been reported in both diseases. Recently, we found in healthy carriers of hepatitis B viral antigen a significant excess of the specificity Sabell, a new antigen of the 2nd locus (JEANNET and F ARQUET, 1974). Again, one could explain these findings by a possible cross-reactivity of a causative virus with the antigen Sabell or a genetically controlled defect in the immune response of these patients toward the virus which could be linked with HL-A.

1972; DAUSSET and HORS, 1975). In addition, JERSILD et at. (1973) found an even greater excess of the recently identified LD antigen 7 a, which is known to be in strong linkage disequilibrium with the HL-A 7 and HL-A 3. This was the first indication that there may be in some diseases stronger associations with certain MLC determinants than with serologically detectable HL-A antigens. v. HL-A and Rheumatoid Diseases The most impressive association between HL-A and disease is certainly that of ankylosing spondylitis and W27.

This model of the "effector phase" of the homograft reaction is called cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). It appears, from experiments in families with crossing-over within the HL-A region conducted by EIJSVOOGEL (1974), that MLC incompatibility between the stimulator and responder cell is a prerequisite for subsequent cytotoxicity by the responder cell. But the specificity of the cytotoxic or "effector" phase seemed to be directed towards the HL-A antigens (or antigens determined by very closely linked loci) of the target cells.
