Local administration of cyclosporin allows reduction of the dose prolonging survival of heart tissue allografts

Immunol Lett. 1990 Feb;23(4):247-9. doi: 10.1016/0165-2478(90)90067-z.

Abstract

In the H-2-incompatible donor-recipient combination (BALB/c----CBA/H) local administration of cyclosporin allows a 4-fold reduction in a single dose prolonging survival of heart tissue allografts. These results suggest that local administration of cyclosporin may be useful for certain grafts.
