Histocompatibility testing: microlymphocytotoxicity techniques used in conjunction with mixed lymphocyte cultures

Definitions and descriptions of the DLA and MLC assays used to type canine cells for histocompatibility are presented, followed by an explanation of applications of the typing system to several LEHR projects such as bone marrow and fetal liver transplantation as well as the production of antibodies to tumor associated antigens. The data obtained from the typing of two typical families are presented and discussed
