[Macrophage reaction in the bed of an allogeneic skin transplant]

The character of cell reactions, number of macrophages at the place of skin allograft was demonstrated to depend on the stage of posttransplantational period. Macrophagal reaction increases as the crisis of rejection is approaching; functional and metabolic activity of macrophages is increasing that is evident from an intensive vacuolization of cytoplasm, decreased contents of glycogene, enhanced acid phosphatase activity in them, increased amount of H3-thymidin labelled cells.
