Between August 1977 and April 1979, four cases of renal transplantation were performed at the Department of Urology, Nagasaki University. Two hundred mg of ALS (AHLBULIN) was administered for 35 days from the 5th day before transplantation in addition to Imuran and methylprednisolone. The skin test was performed every time just before using AHLBULIN and the titer of precipitin reaction was determined in the period of using the agent. One patient had positive skin reaction and pecipitin titer rose to 16 times for 8 days from the 7th to the 15th day after transplantation. No one had a side effect owing to administration of AHLBULIN. One of them had one acute rejection episode after 6 days from transplantation and was treated with the pulse therapy of methylprednisolone.
