Donate today to support women in science at Burnet and their work to unlock the vaginal microbiome and reduce risk of HIV infection and preterm birth for women around the world.
Improving the health of vulnerable communities and changing lives is at the heart of what we do and who we are.
The intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of autologous spleen cells treated with recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) in vitro resulted in the rejection of C57BL/10ScSn (B10) skin grafts that had survived for 18 months on CBA/Ca mice tolerant to B10 alloantigens. Cytotoxic lymphocytes specific for the graft alloantigens, assayed by limiting dilution analysis, appeared after the breaking of this immunological tolerance, whereas they were not detectable in tolerant mice. In these mice the frequencies of precursor cytotoxic cells specific for third-party alloantigens were unaffected by the IL-2 treatment.
To create and translate knowledge into better health, so no-one is left behind.
