Figure 2. — A calf that developed multiple subcuta- 
neous abscesses caused by Corynebacterium py- 
ogenes during treatment with ALS. Note the elevated 
total leukocyte and absolute neutrophil counts with 
continued suppression of absolute lymphocyte 
counts. 
within a matter of days, the calves were totally 
and permanently incapacitated. 
The use of prednisolone as the sole means of 
suppressing rejection of goat hearts in calves 
did not appreciably prolong survival but v^hen 
combined with ALS it prevented rejection.-^ 
However, the surgical wounds did not heal, and 
we were unable to control bacterial and fungal 
infections.
