[Effect of ALS treatment in the uptake and release of 85sr by allogeneic bone transplants (author's transl)].

After a treatment of the recipients with antilymphocyte serum shortly before and after grafting of 85Sr uptake of bone grafts as well as the release of 85Sr from the grafted mineral was increased. The difference of these parameters between allogeneic grafts to untreated recipients and allogeneic grafts to ALS treated recipients was similar to that between allogeneic grafts in untreated recipients and syngeneic grafts. This finding indicates a marked improvement of mineral metabolism in allogeneic bone grafts by treatment with antilymphocyte serum.
