Five lens antigens of rabbits can induce antibodies homologously as evidenced by agar precipitin technics.
Cross-reactions of lenses of other species (organ specificity) may be due to similarity of varying numbers of these antigens.
Newborn and 26-day embryo rabbit lenses seem to have decreased concentrations of, or lack, one antigen present in adult rabbit lens.
Streptolysin "O" concentrates appear to act as an adjuvant for homologous lens immunization in rabbits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
