anti-lymphocyte serum(English)
- an immunosuppressive agent, often used in combination with other immunosuppressives, to avoid allograft rejection. In a quadruple therapy protocol it is used with azathioprine, steroids and cyclosporine. ALS is used both as a preventive immunosuppressant for initial treatment of rejections, and to treat steroid-resistant rejection. The widest experience is from kidney transplantation, but it has also been used in connection with transplantation of small bowel, heart, bone marrow, liver, pancreas (or islet cells), cornea and skin
