Abstract
The early phase of graft-versus-host-reaction is characterized by a rapid decline of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, with a minimum between days 9 and 11, and return to normal until day 20 after spleen cell grafting. Erythrocytes and hematocrit do not change during this period. There is no causal correlation between splenomegaly and lymphopenia. Lymphopenia provides a criterium for experimental graft-versusu-host-reaction equivalent to the spleen-index.Entities:
