Summary
A study was made of the formation of serum isoantibodies and of the indices of nonspecific bodity resistance in rabbits after skin homografting. It was found that transplantation of a homologous skin fragment was consistently associated with the formation of complete and incomplete hemagglutinins, leucoagglutinins and hemolysins in the recipient's blood. At the time that the serum antibodies appear there is a phase of temporary reduction of nonspecific serum protection indices (lysozyme and complement).
