Initially developed for histocompatibility testing, the normal lymphocyte transfer (NLT) reaction involves the intradermal injection of allogeneic lymphocytes from one individual to another. Because of the unique kinetics of the immunological response to allogeneic lymphocytes, the NLT reaction has been considered an informative system for the analysis of transplant immunity.
