Popis: Purified porcine islets were prepared by collagenase digestion and density gradient purification, and transplanted under the kidney capsule of C57B/B6 mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes which were receiving varying temporary immunosuppressive therapies. Islets that had been cultured for 1 day at 37 degree C were rejected after : 9+/-0.1 (mean+/-SE) days in control mice: 14+/-3 days in mice receiving mouse antilymphocyte serum (MLS) plus porcine antilymphocyte serum (PLS) on day of transplant (day 0); 43+/-6 days in mice treated for 1 week with anti-CD4 antibody (aCD4); 36+/-4 days in mice given aCD4 for 1 week plus PLS on days 0 and 7; 47+/-3 days in mice treated with aCD4 for 1 week plus MLS and PLS on day 21. Porcine islet survival in these latter three groups was significantly (P
