Table 4. Fate of Double Heart Transplants With Three-Day Course of 1.28 mg/kg/d Intramuscular FK.

Time Sequence Over 14-Day Period

Group Strain Combinations 1st HTx on Day 0 and Survival (d) FK on Days 4, 5, and 6 HTx on Day 14 and Survival (d) Meaning of Group
1 1st HTx, ACI-LEW Yes (6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7) No No Untreated control, same as group 1, Table 1
19 1st HTx, BN-LEW Yes (11, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13) No No Untreated control, with BN-LEW strain combination
20 Delayed HTx, ACI-LEW No Yes Yes (9, 10, 10, 11) Measures effect of 3 days' treatment 7-10 days before delayed grafting
21 Delayed HTx, BN-LEW No Yes Yes (27, 34) Measures effect of 3 days' treatment 7-10 days before delayed grafting with easier BN-LEW combination
22 1st HTx, ACI-LEW Yes (>37, 63, 64, 70) Yes Confirms group 18, Table 3, and conditions recipient for 2nd graft
2nd HTx, ACI-LEW Yes (25, 41, 49, 56) Test of donor-specific tolerance without further FR treatment, ACI donor P < .01 v group 20
23 1st HTx, ACI-Lew Yes (48, 60) Yes Same result with 1st Htx as in group 22
2nd HTx, BN-LEW Yes (14, 15) Minimal survival advantage for 2nd graft using BN donor

Test groups are groups 22 and 23; all others are controls.
