Abstract
Cytokines regulate the immune response to transplanted tissue, and are invo lved in determining whether a tranplant is accepted or rejected. Graft reje ction may reflect, in the end, as much the way in which the graft is poised to respond to the cytokines as it does the particular cytokines produced b y the graft (pages 549-555).
