Monoclonal antibodies were used to study infiltrating cell subpopulations in 12 graft biopsy specimens taken from 12 patients during rejection episodes. A preponderance of T lymphocytes in the renal interstitium was observed in most cases, with a higher percentage of suppressor/cytotoxic cells. No correlation was documented between the type and severity of rejection and the percentage of the various infiltrating cells.
