By means of the immune adherence assay it was shown that specific
leucocyte isoantigens present on lymphocytes, granulocytes and fibroblasts are also
demonstrable on epidermal cells. This suggests that the transplantation antigens
of lymphocytes are present on all nucleated cells.
The immune adherence assay with epidermal cells is a simple and sensitive
method and can, therefore, be used for the selection of donors for organ transplantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
