Heterotopic heart transplantation was carried out in rats and the influence of multi-glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f. (GTW) and a subtherapeutic dose of cyclosporine A (CsA) on the mean survival time (MST) of the cardiac allografts was investigated. The results showed that the MSTs of cardiac allografts in both the GTW and CsA-treated groups were significantly prolonged (P lt 0.01 vs control). The rate of allograft rejection in the drug-treated groups was much lower than that in the control group.
