Human blood platelets, while exhibiting some transplantation antigen activity, are not as potent in this regard as leucocytes. Dosages of 130–288 X 109 platelets, obtained by repeated donor plasma-pheresis, induced homograft sensitivity in the recipients. Humoral and cellular responses noted after sensitization showed no direct correlation with the survival time of skin homografts in the same subjects.
