✦ Synopsis
skin persisted somewhat longer than is normally the case, suggesting that there was some depression of homograft defences in these patients.
From English workers there are excellent papers by L. Brent, working with J. H. Berrian, on Cell-bound Antibodies in Transplantation Immunity, and P. A. Gorer contributes the usual lucid account of his work on H-2 Antibodies in vivo and in vitro.
For the surgeon perhaps the most interesting section is that on Acquired Tolerance, for herein lies the solution to the problem of homologous skin-grafting. This is a very full section and deals with all aspects of acquired tolerance, particularly that acquired by lethal doses of X-irradiation. If no answer is forthcoming, at best this part of the dissertation points the way to the most exciting possibilities of surgical advance in the coming decades.
