The South African surgeon, who performed the world’s first human heart transplant, was addressing a standing-room audience at the an- nual meeting of the Canadian Medical Association. He said the day is coming when a patient will take a cow, pig, or goat to the hospital with him, from which doctors will take the needed heart. He said his team of doctors now given weekly doses of drugs to i suppress the body’s natural tenâ€" I dency to reject the transplant to their surViVing patients,'even when they seem not to need them. Dr. Barnard showed the doctors 21 picture of a middle-aged man playing a game of tennis eight months after a transplant. The man still receives his weekly dose of the antiâ€"rejection drug, and has shown no signs of rejecting his new heart. . Earlier Dr. Martin Barkin of Toronto told the 500 delegates about his research into the mysâ€" tery of organ rejection. He couldn't speak before a crowd; ‘He couldn't, teJCll a class.

Rejection 1e- search so far has conceniiated'on making the body accept the'trans planted organ. Dr. Barkin said the trick is to “coat†or “mask" organ antigens so they are disguised to the recipient’s antibodies. Without this mask, the antigens would stimulate the antibodies to attack and UV to 1eject the transplant This coating is apparently ach- ieved by.five daily doses of the recipient’s blood into the donor’s body. This blood contains a high level of recipient antibodies built up from three previous skin grafts. “We‘re now trying it on trans- mice plants between two species. and rats,†Dr. Barkin said.
