Abstract
The fact that the highest activity of glucocerebrosidase is normally found in the spleen (2) has suggested the possibility of splenic transplantation as a means of enzyme replacement in Gaucher’s disease (1). Technically successful splenic homotransplantations have been reported by Starzl and co-workers in six patients with diseases other than lipidosis (3, 9).
