ALG vs. ATG
Just wanted to elaborate a bit on Connie's response. ATG is anti-thymocyte globulin and ALG is anti-lymphocyte globulin. They are similar and often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing, and contrary to what many think they can both be either horse or rabbit serum.
This article may help explain the differences:
