Abstract

When incubated with "reactive" ribonucleic acid extracted from lymph nodes of rabbits immunized by skin homografts, "neutral" lymph node cells from nongrafted rabbits were apparently altered to a state of transpiantation immunity, as manifested by a positive skin reaction upon injection of these cells into the donor of the skin homografts.
