The influence of grafting more than one skin transplant simultaneously on one recipient was investigated. When a mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC)-negative skin was transplanted along with an MLC-positive skin, the MLC-negative skin survived for a significantly shorter time than when transplanted alone. This indicated that the MLC-positive skin provided a stimulus that could provide help to reject the MLC-negative skin. This finding might be important clinically. When an MLC-negative transplant is given to a patient, one should not transfuse this patient with MLC-positive leukocyte-rich blood.
A new approach which presumably recognizes MLC determinants (or at least structures closely linked to MLC and different from the FOUR, AJ and LA series determinants) by serology is described. As the test can be performed within 10 h it could be used to match cadaveric kidney donors for these MLC determinants. Perhaps even more important is the fact that the antibodies detected by this technique could be used to study the immunochemistry of a class of determinants differing from the well known SD determinants.
