Regional lymph node cells of mongrel dogs which received kidney homografts after bilateral nephrecto-my take up fluorescein-isothiocyanate-labeled extracts of kidney tissue and of peripheral blood leukocytes. These fluorochrome-tissue conjugates were not taken up by cells from lymph nodes excisedfrom the experimental dogs at the time of transplantation or from normal dogs.
