| Abstract: | The immunosuppressive effects of a new agent, FTY720, on joint allografts were studied histologically in a rat model. Favorable results without side effects were obtained at a dose of 3.0 mg/kg/day. The authors believe that this agent is one of the most useful immunosuppressants in the reported experimental model. |
