In 20 patients the authors performed in the course of 6-8 weeks following renal transplantation a total of 74 examinations of the cellular reaction to an antigenic stimulus. In 68 instances (91.9%) agreement with the clinical picture was recorded, while in 6 patients (8.1%) the interpretation of the cytological impression did not correspond to the clinical course. In four instances activation of lymphocytes was found, i.e. possible risk of rejection which however was not confirmed. In two instances however incipient rejection was not detected.
