Effect of different treatment protocols on lymphocyte proliferation: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the blood of renal transplants obtained on (day # 0) and on (day # 14) were separated by ficoll-hypaque. [3H]-thymidine uptake was quantified as counts per minute (CPM) using a liquid scintillation counter. The open bars represent the proliferation data (Mean ± SEM) of lymphocyte proliferation from patients treated with TAC/MMF/AZA and steroids and closed bars represent data after addition of SRL to TAC (day # 14) without MMF/AZA.
