[Sensitization of murine splenocytes to normal tissue antigens and natural killer activity. II. The effect of immunization with allogeneic and xenogeneic tissues].

Immunization of C3HA mice with allogeneic tissue (liver of DBA mice) leads to wave-like variability in the natural killer activity of their recipient splenocytes. This variability is similar to that of NK-activity due to syngeneic immunization and is characterized by a sharp increase on days 1, 3-4 and 6 after immunization. Xenogeneic immunization exerts no influence on NK-activity, if compared with the injection of 0.14 M NaCl.
